Caleb Williams discusses facing tough Brian Flores defense

Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears will open the season this Monday night against NFC North rival the Minnesota Vikings. The second-year quarterback has a much-improved team and coaching staff around him to begin the season. However, Williams still will have a very tough test. Minnesota’s defense, run by Brian Flores, is one of the top defenses in the league. Flores is known to run a very aggressive, very blitz-heavy defense.
In Wednesday’s press conference, the Bears’ quarterback held no punches when discussing the challenge of facing the Vikings defense.
According to Zack Pearson of Bear Report, Williams discussed the aggressiveness of Minnesota’s defense. Williams mentioned how the Vikings “load up the box and want as many rushers rushing at the QB”
“They blitz more than any other team on any down. They load up the box. They want as many rushers rushing at the QB. As many 1 on 1’s as they can get.”
“They blitz more than any other team on any down. They load up the box. They want as many rushers rushing at the QB. As many 1 on 1′s as they can get.” – Caleb Williams on Brian Flores’ defense.

The Chicago Bears offensive line must protect Caleb Williams in order to beat the Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings have some solid pass rushers that could make it very hard for Williams on Monday night. Flores will definitely find ways for Javon Hargrave and Jonathan Greenard to get to the quarterback fast. With an improved offensive line, the Bears must do a good job at protecting their quarterback for the offense to succeed.
The Bears added Drew Dalman, Joe Thuney, and Jonah Jackson to the offensive line to hopefully help the quarterback. The only two starters from the 2024 offensive line that remain are Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright. Head coach Ben Johnson confirmed that Jones will indeed be the starting left tackle for Week 1.
If Williams can get a clean pocket, he will be able to make big plays to help the Bears potentially start the season at 1-0.
