The 2012 Chicago Bears season was highlighted by a dominant defense that led the NFL with 44 takeaways and ranked third in the league for fewest points allowed. The team enjoyed an elite 7-1 start and set an NFL record with six defensive touchdowns in their first seven games, ultimately finishing with a strong 10-6 record. The arrival of Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall revitalized the offense, contributing to high-scoring victories such as a 51-20 win over the Titans. A six-time Pro Bowl selection and First-team All-Pro, Brandon Marshall was a dominant wide receiver for the Chicago Bears who set the NFL record for most receptions in a single game and recorded three consecutive 100-catch seasons.
