Statistical Breakdown: How Bears and Vikings stack up before Week 2

The Chicago Bears will battle the Minnesota Vikings in their Week 2 game, which will feature a chess match between Ben Johnson and Brian Flores for what might be early first-place in the NFC North.

The Bears are coming off an historic 59-37 win over the Carolina Panthers in their season opener, where quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense exploded for eight touchdowns and 552 yards in what was a near-flawless performance. Chicago totaled 291 rushing yards behind D'Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai and Williams, and there's plenty to be excited for on offense. Unfortunately, there's still plenty to clean up for this Bears defense that gave up 37 points, 478 yards and struggled to contain Bryce Young.

Here’s how the Bears and Vikings stack up statistically ahead of Sunday's matchup.
