3 Chicago Bears keys to the game

1. Keep the momentum going

The Bears are on a three-game winning streak but a bye week stopped the momentum naturally. The Bears need to get that momentum back early. 

2. Stop the run

The Bears have struggled to stop the run this season, and the Jaguars have one of the best one-two punches in the league behind Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby. Making Jacksonville one-dimensional is key, especially with a short-handed secondary.

3. Get after Jayden Daniels

The No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft was labeled as week-to-week with a rib injury, but will play on Sunday. The Bears would do well to make his life miserable and test his ability to throw on the run.

Remember when…

The last time the Bears took on Washington, DJ Moore had 230 receiving yards and three touchdowns in a rout of the Commanders. Before that, the Bears last took on a former No. 2 overall pick in Washington when Robert Griffin III torched the Bears for 298 yards and two touchdown through the air as well as 84 rushing yards.
