Three keys for the Bears to win Sunday’s game against the Vikings at Soldier Field:
Beware the blitz
Vikings coordinator Brian Flores, a former Bill Belichick disciple and Dolphins head coach, blitzes more than any other defensive play-caller in the sport. The best way to avoid obvious blitz situations if for the Bears to run the ball well on first down. One problem: the Vikings allow a league-low 74.4 rushing yards per game and force more second-and-long plays than any other team in the sport.
Go deep
Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is the worst deep-ball quarterback in the NFL this season; no passer has a worse Pro Football Focus grade on throws of 20 yards or more.
