Since Lovie Smith took over the Chicago Bears in 2004, with his take away defensive philosophy, the Chicago Bears lead the league in defensive take a ways with 294.
The second place team since 2004 is the New England Patriots. They have 262 take a ways.
Say what you want to about Lovie Smith, but his defensive scheme has made the Chicago Bears one of the best defenses in the NFL over the past eight years.
