Chicago Bears facing record threat from Broncos
The Chicago Bears’ 1985 defense is considered one of the best units of all time in the NFL, but the 1984 defense has one record that has stood for over 40 years.
The Bears created 72 sacks in 1984. A year later, when Chicago won the Super Bowl, the defense recorded 64 sacks. The Vikings came close to tying the Bears in 1989, but finished with 71 sacks. Chicago’s defense in 1987 and the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense in 2022 are tied for the third-most sacks in a season with 70.
The Denver Broncos have the sack record on their mind in training camp. The Broncos recorded 68 sacks in 2025. Broncos defensive tackle D.J. Jones thinks his squad can earn more than 72.
“We can break it. We can break the record,” Jones said, via NFL Media. “What is that, 72? We can break it.”

The Broncos have one thing on their side that the 1984 Bears didn’t. Chicago only played 16 regular season games in 1984. Denver will play 17 games in 2026.
Jones said the Broncos have the personnel to break the Bears’ sack record.
“We got what it takes,” Jones said. “We’ve tasted it. Now, it’s time to cook the meal, eat it, and take a break.
“You know how you eat a good meal, and you lay down after to take a good nap, and you wake up and go eat again? We’re about to eat again. It’s time. We got the numbers, we got the men, we got the willpower, we’ve got the free will to go do it. So, it’s up to us, and we’ll go do that.”
Unlike the Broncos, the Bears will come into the regular season looking to generate a better pass rush than they did in 2025, when they recorded just 35 sacks. Chicago didn’t add a flashy defensive lineman in the offseason, hoping that better coaching and technique will overcome a talent gap on the front seven.
