Goodbye, . Hello, . Welcome to the . Your first task? Taking on Mike Zimmer's on "Monday Night Football." Good luck.You don't need to be a fan to be grateful for (the very tall, but very bad quarterback) for Trubisky (the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft). If you're a fan of completions, first downs, downfield throws, athleticism, and more generally speaking, good football, you should be stoked. You don't have to watch the Bears play the Vikings on Monday night without a quarterback. On Week 5 of "Monday Night Football," the 1-3 Bears will host the 2-2 Vikings at Soldier Field. It's a matchup between two NFC North rivals, but only one of these teams is playing for this season. That team is Minnesota, which is very much alive in the division and conference. Meanwhile, for the Bears, this game is all about the future. Specifically, it's all about Trubisky's debut. The result doesn't Madison Bowey Kids Jersey matter much to them. It's about how Trubisky looks in his first NFL game. It's about his development from promising prospect to NFL quarterback. Trubisky might be the most intriguing aspect in this game, but I'm taking the favorite in this game and the team with something to play for in this season. The Vikings will spoil Trubisky's debut with their top-notch defense, but the Bears will keep it close now that they have an actual quarterback under center. The prediction: Vikings 24, Bears 21 My "MNF" prediction record: 3-1 How to watch, stream When: Monday at 8:30 p.m. ETWhere: Soldier Field, Chicago, IllinoisTV: ESPNStreaming: Trubisky changes the Bears' offense Trubisky hasn't played a single real down in the NFL, but he's already an upgrade over Glennon. That's how bad Glennon was for the Bears. In four starts, Glennon completed 66.4 percent of his pa ses, averaged 6.0 yards per attempt, threw four touchdowns and five picks, and generated a 76.9 pa ser rating. He also fumbled five times. There's no way to know how Trubisky will fare in the NFL. He's an unknown. But his skill set will change the offense. For one, Trubisky isn't a statue in the pocket like Glennon. He can move. In the preseason, the Bears constantly rolled him outside of the pocket to take advantage of his athleticism. In the proce s, they simplified his reads, turning him into Pavel Datsyuk Jersey a "see the open man, throw it" quarterback instead of one who's required to diagnose, break down, and manipulate a defense. Expect to see plays like this on Monday night: And unlike Glennon, Trubisky has the arm to throw it deep. He won't just dink and dunk the Vikings defense to death. Trubisky is a rookie, but he makes the offense more creative and dangerous because of his natural abilities. That's why the Bears had to go with him over Glennon. With that being said, expect mistakes. Raw talent alone can't win in the NFL. And there will be growing pains as he adjusts to the NFL. But the Vikings will make his life difficult Trubisky is going up against a pretty stout defense. So far this year, the Vikings are allowing 19 points per game despite the fact that they've only registered three takeaways. And last year, this unit ranked sixth in points allowed and So, they're good -- one of the best defenses in football. And they're going to give Trubisky some i sues considering his best receiver is either , , or . The Bears' receiving corps -- down and -- isn't good. And the Vikings' secondary is good. Leading the way is , who is allowing a 65.6 pa ser rating in coverage, according to PFF. Last year, Rhodes posted the league's lowest pa ser rating in coverage (47.0). Instead of picking on Rhodes, Trubisky should look to target the perpetually inconsistent (105.9 pa ser rating in coverage) or the 39-year-old (110.5 pa ser rating in coverage). It'll be interesting to see if the Vikings try to generate pre sure by bringing the heat. The Vikings' blitz percentage is actually down this year -- they've blitzed on 25.5 percent of their snaps this year compared to 31.3 percent last year, per PFF -- but the Vikings could decide to make Trubisky feel the heat in his first NFL start. The regular season is obviously a Trevor Daley Men Jersey different animal than the preseason, but Trubisky was brilliant against the blitz in the preseason, posting a 132.8 pa ser rating. When he wasn't blitzed, his pa ser rating fell to 82.8, according to PFF. However, that doesn't mean pre sure won't be important. Trubisky's pa ser rating under pre sure in the preseason was 51.3, according to PFF. The good news for the Vikings is that they don't need to use the blitz to generate pre sure if defensive lineman can keep doing what he's been doing. The Bears' offensive line is actually pretty good and those lineman will benefit from a mobile quarterback playing behind them, but this will be a tough matchup regardle s. The Bears' running game vs. Vikings' run defense Of course, though, the key to the game will likely be the Bears' running backs. When and run wild, the Bears are a dangerous football team. When they're shut down, they're not dangerous. In the Bears' lone win of the season Niklas Kronwall Jersey -- against the -- their running back duo combined for 268 yards. In a near-win over the , they combined for 179 yards from scrimmage. In two blowout lo ses to the and , they totaled 186 yards. That was with Glennon under center. So now, that the Bears have a legit quarterback, the running backs likely won't need to do as much heavy lifting, but the point remains: The Bears' strength is the running game. The Vikings need to stop the run first, force the Bears to become one-dimensional, and then get after the rookie quarterback. The Vikings are equipped to do exactly that. They're ranked third in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game (71.3). The Vikings' pa sing game Obviously, the status of will be worth monitoring. Due to a knee injury, Bradford hasn't played since Week 1, when he completed 84.4 percent of his pa ses for 346 yards, three touchdowns, no picks, and a 143.0 pa ser rating. That outing came after his debut season with the Vikings, when he set an NFL record with a completion percentage of 71.6, threw 20 touchdowns and five interceptions, and posted a 99.3 pa ser rating. Bradford gets a ton of crap for his checkdown style of play, but he put up that stat line behind a bad offensive line, without a running game, and with his receivers banged up. He deserves credit. Plus, he's lightyears better than his backup Frans Nielsen Women Jersey , , who lit up the Buccaneers in Week 3 for 369 yards and three touchdowns, but that's because Keenum always destroys Tampa Bay. Sandwiched between that outing is a 65.9 pa ser rating performance and a 76.9 pa ser rating performance. Add in the fact that rookie running back is out for the season and Bradford's status is magnified even more. According to ESPN, Even if Bradford mi ses Monday's game, the Vikings receivers will have opportunities to exploit a Bears defense that is allowing 26 points per game. The Bears have yet to record an intercepti
