Bears vs. Vikings — What to Watch 4

Justin Jefferson (18) has eclipsed 100 yards in three of four games against the Bears, including five catches for 107 yards and a 45-yard touchdown in the 2021 season finale at U.S. Bank Stadium. (Photo by Stephen Maturen/Getty Images)

The Bears have yet to feel the absence of top cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who missed the last two games against the Texans and Giants with a quadriceps injury. But neither of those teams have the firepower of the Vikings’ Justin Jefferson, one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. 

Jefferson has 28 receptions for 393 yards (14.2 average) and two touchdowns this season, with two 100-yard games — nine receptions for 184 yards and two touchdowns against the Packers and 10 receptions for 147 yards against the Saints, including a clutch 39-yard play with 1:24 left that led to the winning field goal.
