The Chicago Bears are gearing up for an early, pivotal divisional showdown against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, where first place in the NFC North is on the line.
The Bears kicked off the regular season with a dominant showing against the Carolina Panthers, where they put up 59 points, 552 total yards, including 291 rushing yards, and eight touchdowns with standout performances by quarterback Caleb Williams and running backs D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai. But there are questions about Chicago's defense, which gave up 37 points to Bryce Young and the Panthers. Now, heading into Week 2, the offense is looking to build on their showing while the defense is looking to clean things up.
