The Minnesota Vikings take on the Chicago Bears on Sunday in a divisional matchup that feels pivotal for the survival of Minnesota’s 2023 season.
With all the talk about Kirk Cousins, another player who could be on the trading block if things don’t straighten up is OLB Danielle Hunter. Meanwhile, the Bears have been playing some of the best football they’ve played since their 12-win season back in 2018.
All this to say, Chicago is red-hot while Minnesota is sputtering.
Since 2018, the Vikings and Bears have split their series straight down the middle with five wins apiece. If the Vikings want to take the advantage, they will have to stop this Chicago offense. To do that, they will need to follow these four keys to victory on the defensive side of the ball.
