2. Rome Odunze must have a big day for the Chicago Bears

Rome Odunze has had an up-and-down rookie season, but will a lot of players are down from the Arizona game, Odunze is coming off of one the best games of his early career. Now, he needs to stack multiple 100-yard days with a big game against New England. 

The Patriots have a strong cornerback in Christian Gonzalez. He is a shutdown player, but he will follow receivers and the team will most likely ask him to follow D.J. Moore. Moore and Williams cannot seem to get on the same page as it is, and when you add Gonzalez into the mix you could think of Moore struggling on Sunday. 

The Bears cannot trust anything that Keenan Allen does these days, as it looks like his best play is behind him. This is going to leave a big need for Odunze. As noted, the Patriots' defense is awful statistically. Gonzalez does lose at times, but this speaks to their issues in other spots around the second. Last week they had to bring in Marco Wilson for Jonathan Jones, but Jones should start this season. Still, he has been questionable at best and has not been able to hold down his spot. 

The Bears should attack Jones if he starts this week and that should mean a lot of Odunze targets. He cannot struggle here.
