#1. Don’t let Jay Cutler air it out
Fans can joke about Jay Cutler’s inconsistency and turnovers all they want, but the strong-armed quarterback has made himself a reputation of getting long plays against the Minnesota Vikings in recent history.
Even without Jay Cutler, the Chicago Bears are #11 in the NFL in passing yards per game according to ESPN. If they had him for the entirety of the season instead of just a game and a half, that ranking might be even higher.
When you sprinkle in big, experienced targets for Cutler to throw to and the confidence to make short throws to bring the defense in, you have a dangerous Bears passing game that will test the discipline and ability of the Vikings secondary.
