While the most important thing that Bears star edge rusher Khalil Mack cares about remains winning a championship, there’s something else he’s playing for in Sunday’s season finale against the Vikings.
Entering the final week of the 2019 season, Mack leads the Bears with 8.5 sacks. But he’d like to reach double-digits before season’s end, which would mean getting at least 1.5 against the Vikings on Sunday.
“Absolutely it means something,” Mack said. “But, at the same time, it’s a whole other mindset that I’m in at this stage of my career as far as wanting to play in the playoffs and get to the championship.”
While Mack’s numbers haven’t lived up to his personal expectations, he’s still had an impact on the field. Although Mack isn’t happy with his performance this season. But that’s to be expected, considering how the Bears underachieved this year.
The Bears might face a Vikings team that’s resting a bulk of their starters, which could give Mack an opportunity to get after backup quarterback Trevor Siemian.
