Keys for the Vikings
— It shouldn’t be hard for the Vikings to move the chains against the Bears. They are going up against a defense that allows 375.7 yards of total offense per game. The only way the Vikings could get themselves into trouble is if quarterback J.J. McCarthy is careless with the ball. He has thrown six interceptions so far this season and is going up against a Bears defense that leads the league with 20 takeaways. It will be on McCarthy to keep the ball out of harm’s way this weekend.
Keys for the Bears
— All the Bears should be trying to do against the Vikings is keep the game close until the final minutes. They will enter the game as the underdog despite boasting a better record. It will be on the Bears to simply hang around by any means necessary. If they’re able to give quarterback Caleb Williams a chance to showcase his magic down the stretch, there’s a good chance he’ll get the job done. He currently leads the league in game-winning drives. It’s a big reason the Bears are currently in playoff position.
