Fourteen years ago the late Dennis Green, then head coach of the , gave us those words we'll never forget: "The are who we thought they were." During the Chicago Bears' six game losing streak from Week 7 to Week 13, we thought we knew who the Bears were. As it turns out, teams can change. Chicago was a solid defensive team, completely directionle s on offense. But after Week 15, the Bears are winners of two straight and a suming a new identity. In this week's numbers to know, we'll take a closer look at the offensive succe s Chicago has experienced the past few weeks.Another team we'll examine is the , who are doing something similar to the Bears but on the defensive side Baron Davis Jersey of the ball. Earlier this year, the Seahawks were rolling. They were able to put up points in droves, allowing them to win games despite fielding a historically leaky defense. Those i sues on defense caught up to them in the middle of the season, and the Seahawks started slumping. Now, they are winning again, but in a different way than they were earlier in the season. Seattle's reinvigorated defense deserves a deeper dive.Let's break down the numbers to know regarding Chicago's offense, Seattle's defense and more from around the .Week 15 was a big one for next year's . That's because the projectedNo. 1overall pick changed hands from the to the . The Jets and Jaguars have identical 1-13 records after New York's shocking 23-20 win over the on Sunday, but Jacksonville owns the tiebreaker due to strength of schedule. With two weeks left in the 2020 season, the race to the bottom is on between these two floundering franchises. New York's last two games of the season are at home against the and on the road against the . Jacksonville has the Chicago Bears at home and the on the road. While the Jets looked like they were destined to go 0-16 before this week, the Jaguars might be the worse team at this point. They have not won a game since Week 1 and have lost 13 games in a row, including a 40-14 lo s to the on Sunday. They've allowed at NBA Golden State Warriors Jeresy least 24 points in all 13 of their lo ses, which is the longest streak in NFL history. The Jags are careening toward the No. 1 pick and, in all likelihood, have their sights set on quarterback Trevor Lawrence out of Clemson.The were without starting running back on Sunday, but that wasn't much of a problem. Backup running back scoredtwotouchdowns in a 41-33 victory against the . Elliott hasn't scored two touchdowns in a game since Week 5, which was the last time played in a game this season. In fact, Elliott hasn't scored a single rushing touchdown since that game. That's not good, since Zeke is on a $90 million contract (six years) and Pollard makes an average of le s than $800,000 per year. Pollard showed more Nico Mannion Jersey burst on Sunday than Elliott has in weeks. He finished the game with 132 yards from scrimmage (69 rushing, 63 receiving) on 18 total touches. Elliott has a season-long average of 3.9 yards per carry, while Pollard's average is 4.7 yards per carry. The Cowboys may not be experiencing buyer's remorse just yet, but the Elliott-Pollard situation is just the latest example of how running backs who are perceived as elite can often be replaced by far cheaper options.The Chicago Bears are experiencing an offensive renai sance of sorts. They beat the 33-27 on Sunday and have now scored at least 30 points inthreestraight games (the team's longest streak since 2013). Chicago's offense, which was abysmal during the team's six-game losing streak, has been a lot more efficient since making a switch back to at quarterback. He has completed more than 70 percent of his pa s attempts in three straight games, and the Bears have emerged victorious in each of the past two.Another huge factor leading to Chicago's offensive explosion has been the ground game. Running back has eclipsed 100 rushing yards in three of his past four outings and rushed for a career-high 146 yards against the Vikings on Sunday. He found the end zone twice in the win and has now scored five touchdowns in the past three weeks. The Bears are clinging to their playoff hopes at 7-7. Their recent succe s on the offensive side of the ball may not save their season, but it could save the job of embattled head coach Matt Nagy. While the Bears have undergone a transformation on offense, the Seattle Seahawks have done something similar on defense. They took down the 20-15 on Sunday and have now held each of their pastfouropponents to 17 points or fewer. They've won three of those four games, putting them at 10-4 on the season and helping them reclaim sole po se sion of first place in the NFC West.There was more hype around the Seahawks when quarterback was "cooking" and leading the MVP race, but the old adage tells us that defense wins championships. This version of Seattle appears to be more battle tested and may be better equipped to go on a playoff run. The defense was a major liability over the course of the first 10 games of the season, as the unit was getting gashed for an average of 448.3 yards per game. Over the past four games, the Seahawks have only allowed 269.5 yards per game. That's a pretty drastic difference of 178.8 yards per game. Don't sleep on Seattle, as head coach Pete Carroll and company may be rediscovering an identity that has delivered this team to the Promised Land in the past.The keep winning but not by a lot. Their 32-29 E-40 Jersey win over the on Sunday was their sixth straight game which they've won bysixpoints or fewer. The Chiefs are the first team in NFL history to win six consecutive games by such a narrow margin. While Kansas City advanced to 13-1 and looks like the clear favorite to win the , New Orleans deserves some credit for keeping this game so close. It was the first game back for veteran quarterback (ribs), who uncharacteristically completed le s than half of his pa s attempts, and the Chiefs ran 40 more plays than the Saints did (92 to 52). Chiefs quarterback was held under 300 pa sing yards for the first time since Week 7, but he still threw three touchdown pa ses. Wide receiver was on the receiving end of one of those scoring strikes, brining Willie Cauley-Stein Jersey his season total up to 17 total touchdowns (15 receiving, two rushing). That is the most touchdowns scored by a wide receiver since Randy Mo s scored 23 touchdowns for the 2007 New England Patriots. It's also what makes the Chiefs so scary on offense. Even if you manage to bottle up that unit for most of the game, all it takes is one explosive moment from Mahomes and Hill to provide the game-breaking play. will continue to haunt the for the rest of eternity. Brady led the to a 31-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday after trailing 17-0 at the half. Brady now hassevencareer wins after trailing by at least 17 points, tying and for the most in NFL history. The Falcons would have preferred Brady to tie this record against
