swift-btn-2024-week-8

Here are some notable numbers and stats from the Bears' 18-15 loss to the Commanders Sunday in Washington:

56

Yards covered by D'Andre Swift on his third-quarter touchdown run, the longest TD run by a Bears running back since David Montgomery's 80-yarder on the offense's first play from scrimmage Dec. 13, 2020, in a 36-7 win over the Texans. The 56-yard TD was the fifth longest rushing TD in the NFL this season.

In rushing for 129 yards on 18 carries, Swift became the first Bears player to generate at least 100 yards from scrimmage and rush for a touchdown in four straight games since Montgomery in 2020.

5

Punts that Tory Taylor landed inside-the-20, the most by a Bears punter since Brad Maynard also had five Nov. 30, 2008, in a 34-14 loss to the Vikings in Minnesota. Four of Taylor's punts were downed inside-the-10, giving him eight on the season, the second most in the NFL. In addition, his 68-yard punt Sunday was a career long, topping his 66-yarder Sept. 29 in a 24-18 victory over the Rams.

0

Touchdowns allowed by the Bears on Washington's three red-zone possessions. The defense forced the Commanders to settle for three short field goals after they had reached the 7, 7 and 9. The Bears lead the NFL in red-zone defense, having allowed TDs on just 36.8% of possessions (7 of 19) inside their 20.

18

Points permitted by the Bears, the fewest the Commanders have scored in eight games this season. Washington entered Week 8 averaging 31.1 points per game, tied with the Ravens for tops in the NFL.

13

Consecutive games the Bears have held their opponents to 21 points or fewer, the longest active streak in the NFL. It's the longest streak for the Bears since they held 16 consecutive opponents to 21 points or fewer in 1993-94.

85

Yards that DeAndre Carter gained on three kickoff returns, his most in a game since Dec. 4, 2022, when he had 89 yards on five returns as a member of the Chargers in a 27-20 loss to the Raiders.
