Chicago could be without three linebackers who have started for them during the young 2017 season. Nick Kwiatkoski and Willie Young are listed as doubtful ahead of the Week 5 game. Bears LB Danny Trevathan will miss Monday night’s contest after being suspended for a game after his hit on Green Bay’s Devante Adams in Week 4.

screens won't kill us. it will be the missed tackles after the screens.

 

Big game for Barr and Kendricks.

Nope.  Not screens.  Not missed tackles after the screen....

more points scored by Chicago would be decisive.

It's a team sport, so it's a big game for every player on the field...  the QBs, RBs, OL, DL, receivers, DBs, LBs, Ks, LSs, kick returners, and Ps.

Bradford to start on Monday, it appears.

 

Head coach Mike Zimmer said Sunday that he "anticipates" Bradford will be able to make the start, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.

 

 

Hooray!!!  Let's hope the OL blocks for him, and he doesn't take any big hits.

Sometimes outcomes depend on one group more than others.

If so, then the RB corp is also going to be similarly in the spotlight, to see if they can carry the load to keep pressure off the QB.  Also, the OL, to open holes for them and pass protect for the QB if the running game isn't effective.  And, maybe the .... oh, I'll stop here to point out how each player is important in a team sport.

Oct. 9 is celebrated annually as Leif Erikson Day in honor of the Icelandic explorer who some believe was the first Nordic person to visit North America.

The Vikings have never lost on this particular day, going a perfect 7-0 in franchise history on Oct. 9.
