[CBFF] Defensive Records Broken

[Phil DeNomme]

Don't let Lovie know that.  He thought the defense played better than last
year.

Listening to Mully this AM, he put a new spin on the Bears' woes.
We've mainly been concerned about the offense this year, but he
pointed-out that the 2007 Bears defense did three things nobody had
ever done to a Bears' D:

1 - Allowed the most yards rushing in a single game by any Bears' D
(A. Peterson, Vikings)

2 - Allowed the most points in a single quarter by any Bears' D (Lions)

3 - Allowed, for the first time, a single player to get both 100 yards
rushing and 100 yards receiving (P.Thomas, Saints)

On top of all that, they went from being the 5th ranked to the 29th
ranked defense in the league.

At least the offense only fell from 15th to 25th.

Jerry
