Last week the Green Bay Packers were able to defeat the Chicago Bears with quick passes designed to put pressure on the Chicago defensive backs while negating the pass rush. It’s not going to be that easy this week against the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota’s defensive front is every bit as good as Chicago’s, even with Khalil Mack, and their secondary, led by corner Xavier Rhodes and safety Harrison Smith, is much better.
While the Bears had a bevy of weak spots to exploit, the Vikings don’t make it easy, coming off a 2017 campaign in which their pass defense ranked 4th overall by DVOA.
