Windy City Gridiron
Modern football is all about big plays and as a companion piece to the STEP Differential, I’m tracking the Bears big plays all year in this Infogram:
Last year’s tracker is on the second page. Remember that you can click into the tabs on the lower left to see the tally by player and you can hover over any of the shapes on the right hand side of the visual to see a description of each play. Like last year, I’ll color code the plays on the right with the team color of the opponent. New this year I’ve added a timestamp this year to each play.
I’m also going to try and post a few of the big plays each week as a matter of record keeping. Enjoy!
The Bears played this game to a “tie” in the STEP Differential, losing the turnover battle 0-1 but balancing that deficit out with one more explosive play and one more sack. This is why that game felt frustrating and much closer than the final score indicated. The Bears just did not capitalize on their chances.
Not an explosive but the only TD on the day.
Really nice play from Montez on this one.
I’m a bit surprised they gave the full sack to Dexter and not split it…
