An interesting statistical tidbit that I came across regarding Dan Hampton.
During Dan Hampton’s career, in the games he played the Bears allowed 104.0 yards rushing a game for 3.8 yards per rush and 0.6 rushing touchdowns per game.
In the games he missed they allowed 115.7 yards rushing a game for a 4.0 yards per carry average and 1.2 touchdowns rushing per game.
In games he played their record was 79-24 (.779) and when he was out the Bears record was 8-16 (.333).
When Hampton played the Bears recorded 3.4 sacks a game and when he was out it fell to 2.3 sacks per game for the Bears and when he was in the lineup the bears allowed 15.9 points a game and when he was out they allowed 23.1 points per game.
Clearly, you can see there was a "Hampton affect"—the team performed better when he was in the lineup.
