Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings: 5 questions behind enemy lines
By Adam Carlson
3. The Vikings have a very stingy defense. How will the Bears offense attack the Vikings in hope of putting points on the board?
"“I was hoping you could answer that for me! It looks pretty bleak for the Bears offense on Monday night. At first I was thinking that the return of Jay Cutler would help the Bears passing attack, but the Vikings are tough against the pass while only giving up 198 yards per game. I expect to see Cutler under duress by a Vikings pass rush that’s gotten 19 sacks so far this season. They’ll have opportunities with a couple of the Bears interior linemen nursing injuries. Then I thought maybe Jordan Howard and Ka’Deem Carey could get the running game going, but I realized the Vikings only give up a shade under 82 rushing yards per game. Considering the offensive line is in shambles, that will be tougher than usual. The Bears’ best bet to attack the Vikings might be to try to create a couple of turnovers and play on some short fields.”"
