As the Chicago Bears head into their matchup with the Denver Broncos, there will be so many questions to discuss across the roster. What are some things for fans to wonder about as they look into the battle of two teams trying to dig out of a 0-3 hole?
10. Who will defend Jerry Jeudy for the Chicago Bears in the slot?
Jerry Jeudy missed week one with an injury, then jumped in a bit cold in week two. He posted three catches for 25 yards. Then, in week three, Jeudy recorded five catches for 81 yards against the Miami Dolphins.
To be fair, his team was getting blown out, so he had to put some stats. Still, it was clear that Jeudy and Russell Wilson were developing something late last season, and after one week they started to find that again. He happens to be stepping into the perfect matchip now that he is back in his rhythm.
The Denver Broncos align Jeudy in the slot on 67.1% of his routes this season. If they were smart, they would keep him in there against the Bears. The Bears have Kyler Gordon on the IR and are working in Josh Blackwell, who had a hamstring injury in week one. Blackwell played nine snaps with five in coverage and allowed 61 yards. He may not start, as Greg Stroman, the practice squad call-up has been better. Maybe you should just bet the over on Jeudy and enjoy something while you watch.
