The Raiders will be rolling out backup QB Brian Hoyer in this week's game, which usually means fewer pass attempts and more rushes.The Chicago Bears defense has been a well-known pass funnel this year, enticing opposing offenses to attempt the 9th-most passes in football (37.5 per game) this year.When it comes to pass protection (and the positive impact it has on all passing offense stats), the O-line of the Las Vegas Raiders profiles as the 2nd-best in the NFL this year.Austin Hooper's 89.1% Adjusted Catch% this season indicates a a meaningful gain in his pass-catching talent over last season's 75.6% figure.This year, the deficient Bears pass defense has surrendered a monstrous 83.1% Adjusted Completion Rate vs. opposing TEs: the 2nd-highest rate in the league.
