Berrian barrage
There is a theme in many of the Chicago Bears' blowouts: WR Bernard Berrian tallies a big touchdown.
Berrian has six catches of 40 or more yards this season. But three of them have been for touchdowns, and one other, a 62-yarder, was in a 40-7 blowout of the Buffalo Bills.
He had a 49-yard touchdown in a 26-0 defeat of the Green Bay Packers.
He had a 41-yard touchdown in a 34-7 win over the Detroit Lions.
He had a 40-yard touchdown in a 37-6 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
He was a non-factor in the loss to the Miami Dolphins (one catch for 10 yards), and his explosiveness didn't matter in the loss to the New England Patriots. In that game, he caught five passes for 104 yards, including a 47-yarder. But he did not score.
The Vikings thrive in press, man-to-man coverage. But the Vikings may have to consider playing a little off of Berrian, to respect his speed, or make sure there is safety help in many instances.

Smoot isn't going anywhere for the rest of this season. They need him, because Ronyell Whitaker has struggled so much and Charles Whitaker is so young and raw. Smoot has struggled. But they need to boost his confidence and get him to step up enough to get through this season.
