DUD: Montez Sweat

Maybe the All-22 will tell a different story, but Sweat was nearly invisible as a pass rusher on Sunday night.

He did flash at times, and he played with a high motor. But he was otherwise ineffective for an overall ineffective pass rush that totaled just one sack of Brock Purdy (courtesy of Austin Booker).

Sweat is having a good season. He should finish the year with double-digit sacks (he entered Week 17 with 9.5). But he has to level up his play for the Bears’ defense to play at a contender’s level.
