Khalil Mack doubles his sack total
Khalil Mack has just 1.5 sacks on the season thus far. When Mack was with the Raiders, he was known in the Bay Area for his propensity to get off to a slow start in the first few weeks of each season.
However, the Bears know Mack is a force to be reckoned with, and their opponents know it, too. At some point, he will find his rhythm as he always does.
Mack, of course, is very familiar with Rivers, as the two faced off in the AFC West for years.
This may be the week Mack bursts onto the scene, as another 1.5 sacks on the day would double his current total, giving him three for the season. And if Mack continually gets a good jump off the line, we’ve seen how destructive he can be, with 63 career sacks in seven seasons.
Rivers will be tasked with getting rid of the ball quickly, as Mack hopes to meet him in the backfield multiple times on Sunday.
