The Chicago Bears are aiming to turn their season around as they prepare to face their division rival, the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
The Bears are in urgent need of a victory to gain momentum. Currently, they are on a three-game losing streak this season and have lost their last ten games against the Packers. A win on Sunday could significantly impact the Bears' season and help foster a winning mentality within the team.
How are the Bears going to pull off an upset? Well there are a few key things that could go a long way in helping them secure a victory
TE Cole Kmet
The key to helping the Bears achieve victory lies in whether Thomas Brown can unite the offense after a challenging few weeks following the dismissal of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. One way to kickstart the offense is to get the ball to Cole Kmet. Tight ends are often a quarterback's best friend, especially for a rookie. Under Waldron, Kmet wasn't utilized effectively, so it will be interesting to see how Brown plans to incorporate Kmet into the offense.
Defensive Line
A key factor in the game on Sunday will be the Bears' defensive line. Jordan Love has struggled with turnovers this year, and one effective way for a defense to create these turnovers is by applying pressure. If the Bears' defensive line can find a way to pressure Love, they may be able to force turnovers through hurried decision-making or by causing fumbles. Winning the turnover battle in this game could significantly increase the Bears' chances of securing an upset victory.
The Chicago Bears will need to play their best football of the year to beat the Packers. It’s likely that a lot will have to go their way, but if they can successfully focus on these two keys to victory, it will significantly improve their chances of winning.
