JAYLON JOHNSON vs. DAVANTE ADAMS
There is no better QB/WR combo in the NFL today than Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. Adams is not only leading the league in both receptions and yards, he has more yards receiving than the entire Chicago Bear offense combined. I have no idea how Sean Desai plans to slow down what could be a 2K season for Adams, but the Bears best hope is second year prodigy at cornerback, Jaylon Johnson. While Johnson had a great rookie year, Adams got the best of him plenty. Now it's time to see how much Johnson has learned after two meetings last season. Can Jaylon Johnson do the impossible or will Adams and Rodgers continue to impose their will on opposing defenses?
ALLEN ROBINSON/DARNELL MOONEY vs. ERIC STOKES/ISSAC YIADOM
On the flip side you have the Bears with two talented receivers of their own. While it had been mostly the Allen Robinson show in Chicago in recent years, it's second year wideout Darnell Mooney currently leading the Bears' receivers. The Packers star cornerback, Jaire Alexander is already on injured reserve and Kevin King has not been practicing at all this week after suffering a shoulder injury in last Sunday's win against the Bengals. This leaves rookie Eric Stokes and core special teamer Issac Yiadom as Green Bay's diminishing options at cornerback. With the Bears losing running backs as quickly as the Packers are losing cornerbacks, Robinson & Mooney are going to have to make some plays to keep the ball moving for Chicago. While getting into a passing duel with Aaron Rodgers is rarely the best plan of attack, the Bears would be wise to exploit this tremendously beatable matchup.
JUSTIN FIELDS vs. MATT NAGY
Speaking of a passing duel with Aaron Rodgers, the Bears rookie quarterback has won the starting job, but not quite yet the heart of his head coach. Justin Fields has yet to top twenty passing attempts in a game and while it's gotten him a 2-1 record as a starter...it's not going to keep pace with the best passing attack in the division. I know it's going to be tempting to repeat the gameplan that got you the upset in Las Vegas, but if you are ever going to take the proverbial training wheels off the young passer...it should be on his home field against the quarterback that has put up more points on the Bears in the past decade than anyone else. The Bears could use this win in the worst way to not only keep pace in the division, but to keep the momentum going on the road to a rematch with the greatest quarterback of all time. Does Nagy take the leap of faith in his young QB or is this just going to be another game the defense is going to have to carry?
