The Bears have a vastly improved front seven and that will be evident in the running game. The Bears will do a great job containing Lamar Miller and frustrate Osweiler at times as well. Unfortunately, with questionable secondary components, Osweiler will have success.

DeAndre Hopkins is going to have his way with the Bears secondary and Osweiler is going to throw for over 250 yards and 2 touchdowns. He will take his first steps towards becoming a legitimate starting quarterback in this league.
