Bears place 4 on the PFWA 2018 All-NFL Team

No team in the NFL placed more players on the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA) 2018 All-NFL Team than the Chicago Bears. Players are voted on by members of the PFWA, and the Bears checked in with four, one more than the Kansas City Chiefs.

Here are the Bears named All-NFL:

OLB - Khalil Mack
CB - Kyle Fuller
S - Eddie Jackson
PR - Tarik Cohen

Mack, Fuller, and Jackson helped the Bears’ defense to a number one DVOA ranking in 2018 under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, and they’ll be key components of Chicago’s 2019 defense coordinated by Chuck Pagano.

Cohen led the NFL with 33 punt returns and 411 yards, and his 12.5 average was fifth. He may not have taken one to to the house again this year, but his ability with the ball in his hands was on the mind of every opposing special teams coordinator.
