Football is the ultimate team sport. One player cannot carry a team to victory like we often see in other sports. All eleven men on the field need to pull together, even if they’re facing the very best of the best.
This week, as the Chicago Bears take on the Green Bay Packers for the 205th time, there are four key match-ups to watch. Let’s break each one down.
WR Darnell Mooney vs CB Jaire Alexander
This is the match-up that will probably garner the most attention. The Bears’ promising young wide receiver versus one of the best cornerbacks in the league. If the Bears want to win this game, Mooney will need to be a big reason why. He needs to get open often and early in his routes to take pressure off of quarterback Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears’ unproven offensive line.
