Chicago Bears keys to the game

1. Find ways to protect Caleb Williams

Caleb Williams has been sacked more times in 2024 than any other quarterback in Chicago Bears history. The Bears must find ways to protect Williams. If it’s with an extra tight end, max protection or another third option, letting Williams get comfortable is a way to win.

2. Find defensive momentum early

The Bears’ defense has entered the break allowing 37 combined points in the last two games. Finding ways to limit points must be the focus, be it through turnovers or getting off the court.

3. Get Cole Kmet involved

Chicago Bears are 3-1 when Cole Kmet records double-digit yards per carry. reception of a minimum of three receptions in a match. Forcing the second level of the defense to respect Kmet will open up opportunities for DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze.

Remember when…

The Bears last won a road game on November 27, 2023 when the Bears beat the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football. That was last year though. The Vikings started Joshua Dobbs and scored just 10 points. The Bears had Justin Fields as their starting quarterback. The Bears also intercepted Dobbs four times in the win.
