Another Sunday means another contest for the Chicago Bears and this one at home trying to snap a 2 game losing skid. After a Hail Mary loss and a downright gutless performance vs the Arizona Cardinals the Bears get the lowly Patriots who come off a 20-17 loss vs the Titans in overtime.

Here I give you 3 keys to a Bears Victory

1. PROTECTION, PROTECTION, PROTECTION !

It is in all caps for a reason. This has been a problem for the Bears for sometime now going all the way back to Justin Fields rookie year which was well over 3 years ago. It again is an issue as the Offensive Line seem to have miscommunication issues and inability to pick up stunts run by opposing defenses. Williams has been sacked 30 times which is 3rd worst in the NFL. He was sacked 6 times vs the Cardinals. It doesn’t get any easier as Chicago’s top 2 Tackles are out. So that means extra protections like tight ends and rbs might be needed in this contest.

2. Pressuring a ineffective Offensive Line and Rookie QB

On the flip side Chicago’s defense must contain and keep Drake Maye feeling the heat. Patriots Offensive Line has been just as bad as Chicago’s. Even with key star Andrew Billings going down for the year the Bears can get pressure and they must do that for the course of 60 minutes on Sunday.

3. Where is DJ Moore and Cole Kmet?

When the Bears added Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze in the passing game it was supposed to help ease the burden of Moore and Kmet not completely take them off the statsheet. Ever since the Bears win vs the Jaguars in London, Kmet has only 2 catches for 14 yards and got 0 targets vs. the Cardinals. Moore has 6 catches in that span, but a lot of the time, people are questioning his effort on routes being run and just not being the WR 1 the Bears are paying him as one. The chemistry has been off all season for Moore and QB Caleb Williams. It would surely help that they get it going early.
