is back, but he probably shouldn't be. For one, coach John Fox seemingly preferred as his starting quarterback, even if he denied that was the case after Hoyer lost his season to a broken arm. Before Hoyer's injury? Fox was saying stuff like ." After Hoyer's injury? He said while Cutler's saying stuff like Fox to support him or not. Now, fittingly, whether Fox survives to see Year 3 in Chicago Yet, according to Cutler's wife, Kristin Cavallari, he shouldn't even be out there at this point.A photo posted by Kristin Cavallari (@kristincavallari) on Oct 25, 2016 at 9:26am PDT But Cutler is back and just in the nick of time. The Bears are 1-6 and are welcoming the 5-1 to town on Halloween. Rip Cutler all you want for his demeanor and his sometimes questionable decision making, but praise him for saving us from a prime-time game featuring arguably the best defense in football against , because we were oh so close to being forced to watch that game. Cutler is the hero we needed, though it remains to be seen if he can save Fox's job and perhaps his own future in Chicago. Unfortunately for the Bears, Cutler won't be enough to upset the Vikings. For a while, I wanted to pick the Bears. This just seems like a game Cutler wins. With reports swirling about in Chicago, his last stand is beginning Monday night and god knows he somehow always manages to survive. To this point, he's already outlasted Ron Turner, Mike Martz, Mike Tice, Lovie Smith, Marc Trestman and Aaron Kromer. Surely, he can outlast John Fox. Beating the Vikings would be the first step. But ... logic prevailed. Prediction: Viking 24, Bears 14The Vikings will beat the Bears on Monday night -- that's the pick. They'll spoil Cutler's return with a win over the Bears. And here are the five biggest factors to back it up. 1. Jay Cutler's impact Despite all of the yards Brian Hoyer accumulated (he had a four-game streak of 300-plus yards), all of the pa ses he completed (67 completion percentage), all of the zero-interception games he pieced together (he didn't throw a pick), and all of the positive pre s he generated as Cutler's fill-in, he failed to lead the Bears on drives that ended in the end zone. In the four complete games Hoyer played in -- not counting his last start, Jaylon Smith Jersey which didn't last long because of his injury -- the Bears averaged 18.25 points. With Cutler under center, the Bears offense will be more prone to turning the ball over, but the risks of turnovers are worth it when you consider Cutler's ability to actually put points on the board. One reason the Bears offense struggled to score with Hoyer was his inability to the throw the ball more than 10 yards through the air. According to Pro Football Focus' data, Hoyer, completed 30 percent of his pa ses that traveled at least 10 yards downfield, averaging 8.98 yards per attempt and Dak Prescott Jersey posting a 1.59 touchdown rate. On those kinds of pa ses in 2015, Cutler posted an 46 completion percentage, averaged 10.14 yards per attempt, and posted a 6.63 touchdown rate on those same pa ses. Hoyer's struggles throwing downfield cost the Bears at least one win this season, a wide-open on the team's final offensive play against . It would've been a go-ahead and likely winning touchdown. And that brings me to an important sub-topic of this section: what Cutler's return means for Jeffery, who will be the most explosive offensive playmaker on the field Monday night. Jeffery's skill set -- going deep and catching jump balls -- did not mesh with Hoyer. He averaged five catches and 71.5 yards in each of Hoyer's four complete games. Those aren't awful numbers, but they're not the numbers Jeffery needs to be putting up if the Bears are to be competitive. He's yet to reach the end zone. That will change with Cutler back, In 2015, Jeffery led the NFL in targets per route run with 92 targets on just 281 snaps in route. He was targeted on 32.7 percent of his routes and one of only three wide receivers to see higher than a 30 percent targets per route run rate. If the Bears have any shot at pulling off the upset, , the Cutler-Jeffery connection will need to explode.2. The Vikings' dominant defense But unfortunately for Jay Cutler, his return comes against arguably the best defense in football. The Vikings are ranked second in defensive DVOA, seventh in sacks, and first in: Yards allowed per gamePoints allowed per gameTakeaways They're incredible. And they don't have a weakne s. is PFF's eighth-ranked defensive end in a 4-3 scheme. is PFF's sixth-ranked cornerback. He's 38 years old. And is PFF's second-ranked safety. Also keep an eye on . He has two interceptions and opposing quarterbacks have a 37.3 pa ser rating when they target him in coverage, per PFF. So, Jeffery will have his hands full with a defense that ranks second in the NFL in interceptions with nine this year. Cutler is a better quarterback than Hoyer, but he's more dangerous with the football. The Vikings will have chances to snag a few.3. Crucial Bears injuries The defense is the Vikings' strength and the team they're facing is dealing with critical injuries on the offensive side of the ball. Right guard is doubtful to play with a triceps injury and left guard is questionable with an ankle knock. They might be one of the best guard combos in the league. And if they're both sitting out, look for the Vikings to exploit the interior of the Bears' line. Vikings coach Mike Zimmer loves bringing and bluffing double a-gap pre sure. "Everybody runs the double-A gap system, but in my mind, Zimmer is the master of it. It's his baby," said offensive coordinator Frank Reich, "I don't know -- he probably didn't invent it, but he's mastered it. They run every kind of combination there is known to man, and they know, what takes it to a different level is they know what you Alfred Morris Jersey 're trying to do. They know what teams have done to try to counter it." Cutler probably won't have fun this Halloween.4. The question If Pernell McPhee is 100 percent, the Bears might have a decent chance of doing damage defensively. But McPhee might not be fully back. McPhee, the Bears' best pa s rusher, started the year on the sidelines as he recovered from offseason knee surgery. He made his debut against the a week ago. According to Football Outsiders, he was on the field for 22 percent of the Bears' defensive snaps. That game was played more than a week ago, which makes it completely plausible to suggest McPhee will see more playing time against the Vikings. That's bad news for the Vikings, because when McPhee is at full strength, he's one of the best pa s-rushers in the game. A year ago, he notched six sacks. He slotted in as PFF's fourth-best outside linebacker in a 3-4 system, generating the fifth-most quarterback pre sures. By PFF's calculations, he was the most productive pa s-rusher among 3-4 outside linebackers. If he's actually back, he might wreck . Another Bears pa s rusher to watch? . The first-round pick came alive against Packers with two sacks, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery for a touchdown.5. Can the Vikings protect Sam Bradford? Pa s protection is a problem for the Vikings. It's probably the one thing that In the Vikings' first lo s of the season a week ago, they surrendered six sacks and 17 quarterback hits. A repeat performance would not only give the Bears a chance to win, but it might also result in the lo s of Bradford, who has a history of suffering serious injuries. When he's been under pre sure, Bradford has actually been pretty damn solid. He's gone 32 of 53 (60.4 percent) for 339 yards, three touchdowns, one pick, and a 90.1 pa ser rating. So, the major concerns are sacks and Bradford's durability.
