1. The Bears are 9-1 against rookie quarterbacks at Soldier Field

The confines of Soldier Field have not been kind to rookie quarterbacks. The likes of Matthew Stafford, Andrew Luck, and Cam Newton have all fallen at Soldier Field in their rookie season. The Bears have snagged at least one interception against all of the three aforementioned quarterbacks (3 picks Luck). Chicago’s defense has thrived on putting young quarterbacks under pressure and forcing mistakes. While Carson Wentz looked sharp last week, he faced a cupcake defense in the Cleveland Browns. The Bears might not be a top 10 defense yet, but Wentz can expect a significantly more complex and ferocious defense on Monday night.

Also, the only rookie QB to win at Soldier Field was Russell Wilson in 2012.
