The Chicago Bears are gearing up for a key NFC North showdown against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2, where Chicago will play their home opener and look to continue their offensive dominance and tighten up their defense.
The Bears are coming off an historic 59-37 win over the Carolina Panthers in their season opener, where quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense exploded for eight touchdowns and 552 yards in what was a near-flawless performance. Chicago totaled 291 rushing yards behind D'Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai and Williams, and there's plenty to be excited for on offense. Unfortunately, there's still plenty to clean up for this Bears defense that gave up 37 points, 478 yards and struggled to contain Bryce Young.
