Why time of possession matters....

[Chris Sojka]

Bears 36m Arizona 23m

A difference of 13m

This means that for 36 minutes of play clock plus time stoppages the Bears defense was resting and recovering in order to come out and make plays.

Getting a key first down, controlling the ball, and extending plays with his legs all bought time for his defense to recover. These are the things you need for your team to win sometimes. It's a great number and shows we are executing well enough to stay on the field but not well enough to finish with 6.

I think you have to account for the abundance of roughing the passer calls for the offense right now. I doubt this trend lasts the whole season. These gifts won't last.

And also the 4 forced turnovers.
