Chicago's primary disadvantage this season has been their offense, which has ranked #32 in football with a low 278 yards per game. They've been so ineffective on offense in large part because of their aerial attack, clocking in at #30 in the league with just 199 yards per game. And if the opposing defense doesn't need to go all out to stop the passing game, they can focus more on stopping the run, which has led Chicago managing just 3.71 yards per carry -- bottom 10 in the league. When it comes to their defense, the Bears check in at #13 in football when it comes to total yards allowed per game. Opposing air attacks have notched 207 yards per game against Chicago this year (#26 in football). Opposing ball-carriers have ranked #7 against them with 5 yards per ground attempt. This Bears defense hits their peak effectiveness when it comes to defending opposing wide receivers, keeping them in check at just 124 yards per game (#4-best in the league). Chicago's defensive effectiveness bottoms out when it comes to defending opposing tight ends, who have scorched them for 8.9 yards per target (#7-worst in the league).

Minnesota's biggest strength has been their defense, ranking #9 in the league while allowing just 323 yards per game. Much of their success has been in shutting down the run game, holding opposing ball-carriers to the #2-least yards per carry: 3.53. That's not to take anything away from their pass defense, though, which checks in at #10 in yards per target (7.42). The Vikings defensive ends have played a big part in their ability to stop the run, ranking #3-best in the NFL by this measure. This represents a particular advantage for Minnesota given that the Bears have struggled so much with their run game this year, managing just 3.71 yards per carry (#6-worst in the league). In terms of their offense, the Vikings have ranked #10 in the league in total yards per game. They've passed for 246 yards per game (#10 in football).
