A throwing game script is indicated by the Bears being a -3-point underdog in this week's game.The Chicago Bears offense has played at the 7th-fastest pace in the league (context-neutralized) this year, averaging 27.75 seconds per play.Opposing QBs have averaged 37.6 pass attempts per game vs. the Minnesota Vikings defense this year: 4th-most in the league.When it comes to air yards, Roschon Johnson ranks in the lofty 85th percentile among RBs this year, totaling a massive 2.0 per game. (as a result of being targeted behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more remarkable than it sounds since most RBs have negative air yards).The Chicago Bears O-line profiles as the 5th-best in the NFL this year in protecting the passer, which has a positive effect on all passing game statistics across the board.
