This game has the potential to put up some huge numbers, mostly by the Bears. Seriously, I believe it will be a shootout, but Id put my money on the Bears if they come out fired up like they were on the road in Washington. Cousins and Fields should both hit the 250 mark through the air, but the run game is where the Bears should be better and it might make all the difference late in the game. Might as well book it as another Vikings 1 score differential loss.
Kirk Cousins: Vikings likely to focus on “all five eligibles” with Justin Jefferson out With Justin Jefferson out for at least four weeks while on injured reserve, the Vikings will have to adjust. The club does have talented rookie Jordan Addison, receiver K.J. Osborn, and tight end T.J. Hockenson to help pick up the slack. But Jefferson’s presence and production will surely be missed. “He’s been healthy and available for every game since, I think, 2020, so you haven’t really seen what that might look like,” quarterback Kirk Cousins said on Wednesday. “I think defenses are so well prepared that they’ll still then go by, ‘OK, whoever else is left, how do we want to defend that?’ So, there’s still going to be a very intentional, prepared approach from them that will be calculated. “But you never really know. And we never knew how they were going to defend Justin from week to week, you know? You had your ideas, but you also knew that it’s multiple. So sometimes defending Justin, they can do it in completely different ways on back-to-back plays. That variety, I think, also helps us be prepared maybe for what we could see now.” Cousins noted that while it’s of course tough to lose Jefferson, the Vikings have to keep going. That’s how the league works, Cousins said. “[W]e still have our system, and we’ve still gotta run our system,” Cousins said. “That probably doesn’t change. But I think it’ll be a lot of other people who can contribute. It probably wouldn’t be the focus on Justin as much as using all five eligibles.” We’ll see how Minnesota adjusts without Jefferson on Sunday afternoon when the club takes on Chicago. PFT
The Vikings never play good In Chicago which Vikings team will show up? Justin Fields is looking a lot more comfortable ás the Bears QB without JJ the Vikings need to show they can git the job done

The left tackle pulls on that last run and no one is there to pick up the defensive rush, poorly designed or someone blew it.
