1. Pressure Trubisky and make him make decisions fast

Trubisky is playing well this season. He was the Offensive Player of the Week for his flawless performance last week against the Detroit Lions. He has an excellent 19/7 touchdown to interception rate. He’s completed 65.5 percent of his passes and already has more passing yards (2,304) this season in nine games than he did in 12 games (2,193) last season. Additionally, he uses his legs effectively to get out of trouble and get first downs. He has 320 yards and 3 touchdowns on the ground.

While Trubisky is playing well, he’s still learning on the job. This is his second offensive system in his two years as a professional. He’ll make some great throws but will also miss some wide open guys. This is why he’s almost as big of a lightning rod for controversy as former Chicago Bears signal caller Jay Cutler. Bears fans love how he’s progressing while the national media focuses on his flaws.

Being a young quarterback learning a new system, if you pressure him and make him throw the ball under duress. The Vikings need to harass him all game long. They don’t necessarily need to sack him (though they did record 10 sacks against the Lions before their bye), just put enough pressure so that he makes errant throws or bad throws. He has a tendency to not set his feet at times and that’s when he gets in trouble. He’ll give you a chance or two each game to create a turnover.

The Minnesota Vikings are tied for the league lead in sacks with 31. As I mentioned, they don’t need to sack Trubisky, just pressure him. If they can do that regularly, it’ll be a long day for the young quarterback and the Chicago Bears offense.
