2020 Pressure Rate for Defenses

I was surprised at some of these numbers (ref. PFR). Obviously, not surprised by the Steelers being the best with a pressure rate of 34.7%. But I was surprised that the Bears are ranked 17th with a pressure rate of 21.4%, slightly worse than the Rams at 21.6%.

Also, 5 of the 6 teams that the Rams have played have a better pressure rate than Chicago. The Bears have generated 8.8 pressure/game in 6 games this year. Our OL should not cave if these number are representative of what we see in the game. And of course, Goff should not crash and burn if the OL holds the Bears to their season average.
