The Bears were a popular pick to regress this season, something coach Ben Johnson himself admitted, and they appeared to take that sentiment personally in Week 1.
Chicago came out with a vengeance, scoring 59 points against the Panthers in the franchise's highest-scoring effort in 46 years. While there might be some defensive concerns after allowing 37 points, any thought that the Bears' offense would simply fade away after a surge in 2025 appears to be off the table for now.
The Vikings can't be ignored after Week 1, either. Beset by a concussion for QB Kyler Murray, Minnesota fell behind 22-10 in the second half against the Packers but rallied for a 17-point win, outscoring Green Bay 22-0 in the fourth quarter.
Carson Wentz looked more than capable of manning the offense in Murray's absence, but the biggest showdown of Sunday's contest could be Brian Flores' impressive defensive front against the Bears' high-flying offense.
