Okay, this is the battle of one of the league-leading team in sacks (us, tied for third at 35 sacks) vs. the #2 league-leading team in giving UP sacks (da Bears with 41, and one fewer game compared to league leader Browns).

So being totally realistic and rational, and knowing that the Bears almost beat the Packers last week, and with a new offensive coordinator at the helm (who seems to be pitching a run-heavier offense vs pass-heavy).  

How many sacks do we get on Sunday?  Predictions and why, please.

Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

Well, I cant answer the question of how many sacks?

But I do think this is one of those weeks where containment is of extreme importance. Caleb is athletic and excels at the off-script, the DL will need to be disciplined.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

The Bears just got their starting tackles back from injury last week and their OL played much better against the Packers as a result. But our sacks tend to come from QB confusion more than simply outplaying the other guy. I'll say 4 sacks and 3 will come when we drop everyone into a coverage and rush 3. How's that for specific?

Eyeballing the Bears schedule they've not played any top defenses.....

I think the Vikings will have 7+ sacks versus Bears.

Caleb Williams is in for a very long day

I'm thinking...6 sacks, plus 2-3 INTs.

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

The Bears will be playing from behind. I can see 5-7 sacks. 2 picks.
