3. Khalil Mack and Robert Quinn will combine for 25 sacks

Mack is one of the most disruptive defenders in the league, but he was held to just 8.5 sacks last season. Robert Quinn isn’t nearly as well-rounded, but it’s worth noting that he got to the quarterback 11.5 times for the Dallas Cowboys in 2019.

Quinn should find just as much success playing in this Bears defense. He might even find things easier working on the opposite side of the field from Mack. It’s going to be really difficult for opposing offenses to ever justify double-teaming him.

Rising tides should lift all boats for the Bears’ pass rush this season. Look for Quinn to put up numbers similar to what he gave Dallas last year. It’s Mack who’s going to see his statistical output increase in the sacks department.

Add it all up and they’re going to find a way to take the quarterback down at least 25 times between the two of them. It shouldn’t surprise anyone if they find a way to push 30. This pass rush is going to be nasty for opposing quarterbacks to deal with.
