"Eighth in a 10-part series

A year after the Chicago Bears had both safeties start all 16 games for the first time since 2001, there was more change than ever in 2011.

The Bears had a different starting combination in six of the first seven games and used a total of eight combinations in a dizzying rate of turnover that exceeded anything we've seen during the Lovie Smith era. The strong safety didn't have consecutive starts until Nov. 7 and Nov. 13. Starting safeties now have changed 56 times under Smith since 2004."
