When the Bears allow their next score – likely sometime in the first half against New Orleans on Dec. 15 – they will have allowed more points in a single season than all but two other teams in franchise history. These Bears have allowed 378 points in 13 games. The 1997 Bears allowed 421 points during a 4-12 face-plant under head coach Dave Wannstedt and defensive coordinator Bob Slowik. And that team record for futility was shattered last season when a Bears team with a Tucker-led defense surrendered 478 points.
