Bears defensive end Montez Sweat (98) sacks Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs in the first quarter of the Bears’ 12-10 victory on Nov. 27 at U.S. Bank Stadium.

KEY MATCHUP

Defensive end Montez Sweat has been the multiplier the Bears expected him to be when they signed him to a five-year, $98 million contract following a trade with the Commanders.

The Bears are averaging 19.5 pressures in Sweat’s four games, according to Pro Football Focus (up from 14.5 in their first eight games) and the defense has seven interceptions in the last two games.
