Tactical Key Matchup Factors

Soldier Field Dominance: Minnesota enters Sunday riding a 6-game winning streak in Chicago.
Personnel Shifts: Without Murray's mobility, KOC will emphasize quick-release 12-personnel boots to Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson.
Jordan Mason Injury: RB Jordan Mason is out (thumb fracture), putting more early-down passing onus on Wentz.
Bears Defense: Chicago surrendered 37 points in their opener despite a potent offense, creating high-scoring potential.
