M.Kim24 min ago

The Chicago Bears really need this one.

After losing on a Hail Mary pass last week, with a tense week at Halas Hall following, the Bears are in the desert looking to improve to 5-3.

Chicago Bears keys to the game

Murray is known for his ability to gash teams with his dual-threat ability. Keeping Murray from using his legs will be paramount this week, especially if it means Murray will have to test the Bears' secondary with his arm.

Cole Kmet and Rome Odunze have been getting around five targets per game this season. Keenan Allen and DJ Moore are great players, sure, but Odunze and Kmet are integral parts of the passing game that need to be integrated at a similar level Moore and Allen are.

This goes for both sides of the ball. The Bears' defense allowed a field goal on Washington's first drive of the game last week, while the Bears' offense sputtered through three whole quarters. Starting fast would flip the script on what's been the norm for the Bears.

Remember when...

Everyone remembers the Monday Night Miracle where the Bears stormed to to stun the Cardinals, which triggered Dennis Green's "They are who we thought they were" rant. But, the Bears saw the Cardinals last season on Christmas Eve and beat Arizona 27-16. Happy Holidays!
