The pre-game read
Chicago's offense exploded for 59 points in Week 1 — the highest-scoring Week 1 game ever — with Caleb Williams going 21-of-29 for 269 yards and four total touchdowns under Ben Johnson. Minnesota won 39-22 over Green Bay but allowed 22 points in three quarters, and their defense will face a far more dynamic offense in Chicago. The Bears are at home, and this is a divisional rivalry where the home crowd will be electric after the Week 1 statement. Minnesota lost RB Jordan Mason to IR. The contrary case is Minnesota's own offensive firepower, but Chicago's offensive ceiling is the highest in the league right now.
