Vikings at Bears

Introduction

The Vikings are headed to Chicago for their first NFC North matchup of the season, and a battle of 1-4 teams.

The Bears impressed on Thursday Night Football last week, defeating Washington in commanding fashion. The 40-20 victory was the Bears first win in 346 days, ending a 14-game losing streak, the longest in team history.

Minnesota will be without star receiver Justin Jefferson. Jefferson injured his hamstring Sunday early in the fourth quarter of Minnesota's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs that leaves them 1-4 on the season.

Weighted stats ranking unit vs unit

Weighted rankings are a way of measuring a team's 'true' performance, taking into account the relative strength of each opponent. For example, a team throwing for 300 yards against a team that gives up 250 yards on average, would have a weighted performance of +50 yards. Conversely, if the opponent ordinarily allows 350 yards against other opponents, then the team would have a weighted performance of -50 yards.

This chart shows not only the weighted performance in key areas of the game, but also the weighted performance of the corresponding unit of their opponent, eg: Run Offense vs Run Defense.
