Bears Vikings Preview

Griese Chicken Report: Griese played a decent game last Sunday against the packers. The Vikings are 30th overall on pass defense this year allowing an average 266.8 yards per game on the pass. If Berian decides to catch the ball this week, Griese ought to have a stand out game. His tight ends are playing excellent, and Olsen has showed that he can be a serious problem to defenses. Jeff at Da' Bears Blog puts it best. Griese needs to throw the ball to the flats. Throwing the ball in the flats will exploit a week secondary, and open up the opportunity to go deep.

Key Matchup: Bears Running Backs vs. Vikings Defense. The Vikings run defense is first in the NFL allowing only 62 rushing yards a game. The Bears running game has been poor at best this season. They're only averaging 82.6 running yards a game. They need to pick it up this week to give Griese a chance to pick apart the Vikings pass defense.
