Chicago Bears are NFL’s best at scoring when offense is not on the field

One of the key elements to the success of this year’s version of the Chicago Bears has been the team’s ability to put points on the scoreboard when their offense is not on the field.

The Bears this year have scored seven touchdowns by interception return and one via blocked punt in nine games. Those eight TDs when the Bears offense is not on the field tops the NFL. Here’s a look at how many defensive and return TDs have been scored by each team (through games of Nov. 12):

8: Chicago

6: Denver

5: N.Y. Jets, Washington
