My favorite teams
How many times this season did the Bears defense surrender a touchdown or field goal after the offense scored on the previous possession?

That's a great question because it seemed to me (like I'm sure it did to you) that the Bears defense frequently gave up points immediately after the offense had scored a touchdown or field goal. Here are a few things I discovered in researching your question: The Bears scored 52 touchdowns in 2013 and followed by allowing 25 scores (21 TDs and four field goals) on their opponents' subsequent possession. The worst example came in a Week 7 loss to the Redskins when the Bears scored five touchdowns but permitted TDs on the next drive all five times. Interestingly, the Bears scored six TDs on defense and one on special teams this season, but followed by yielding opponent TDs on the next possession six of seven times.
