THE BLITZ projects the Chicago Bears to be the most run-centric offense in football near the end zone (context-neutralized) right now with a 50.1% red zone run rate.Khalil Herbert has rushed for 0.60 touchdowns per game on the ground this year (on average), one of the highest figures in the league among running backs (96th percentile).The Chicago Bears have been faced with a stacked the box on a mere 14.2% of their plays since the start of last season, 10th-least in the league. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.The Chicago Bears have gone for it on 4th down 27.3% of the time since the start of last season (3rd-most in the NFL), which generally means more offensive volume, more TD potential, and higher offensive metrics across the board.
