The Bears appears to be settling into the right personnel throughout their offense and defense. Defensively, the moves have mostly been because of injuries, and offensively, it just took far too long to figure out.
One of the changes offensively has been an increased role for rookie tight end Cole Kmet, and the Bears took that to another level in their 33-27 win over the Vikings on Sunday. Kmet played every offensive snap, the first time any tight end has done that for the Bears this season, and they used Jimmy Graham on 55% of the plays.
They each had two catches — Graham for 25 yards and Kmet for 12 — but keeping both of them on the field creates uncertainty for the opposing offense.
