Teddy Bridgewater Key to Victory

The Minnesota Vikings travel to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bears this Sunday, and the key to a Vikings win will be QB Teddy Bridgewater.

The Vikings are coming off a bye week and will be facing a Bears team that has lost their last three games. The Bears’ defense has been struggling majorly as of late, giving up over 50 points in each of their last two games. They are 28th in the NFL against the pass, which means all eyes will be on Bridgewater to make plays through the air. The Bears’ defense is much better against the run, which will prove to be an interesting matchup against RB Jerick McKinnon, who is still eager to score his first touchdown of the season.

Bridgewater, who has been impressive since taking over as the starting QB, will be facing a tough Bears’ front seven, which includes DE Willie Young, who already has seven sacks on the season. Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers succeeded in escaping the pressure, so we’ll see if Bridgewater is able to do the same. His mobility could be exactly what leads the Vikings to a win.

The Bears will be eager for a victory this week after experiencing quite a skid recently, falling to last place in the NFC North. They will put up a tough fight, but I believe that Bridgewater’s arm and legs will lead the Vikings to a win and put them at .500 on the season, with playoff hopes still alive.
