We asked Lorin Cox of Bears Wire five questions about the Chicago Bears ahead of their showdown with the Denver Broncos this week. Here are our questions and his answers:

1. How much of an advantage (if any) do you think Chicago’s offense will have this week going up against Vic Fangio, whose scheme they know well?

The main advantage the Bears could get from facing Vic Fangio’s defense is a little bit more comfort for Mitchell Trubisky. It’s not like he’s going to know exactly what the Broncos are calling every snap, but his two years against Fangio in Chicago should help the young quarterback avoid too much confusion in what the defense is trying to do to him. He’s struggled in the past when defensive coordinators call a lot of different looks against him, but playing against his old coach should keep him a little bit more calm and in control.

2. Mitchell Trubisky was sacked five times in Week 1. How concerning is it that Von Miller and Bradley Chubb are on deck next?

The Bears offensive line kept all five starters from last season and was uncharacteristically bad in Week 1. They had frequent communication errors, not picking up blitzes and not passing off stunts properly. Those seem like the kind of issues that can be fixed fairly quickly, but the Broncos pass-rushers offer their own set of challenges. Matt Nagy may want to emulate Jon Gruden (usually a questionable idea) and go to a quicker passing attack to slow down the pass rush the way the Raiders did last week, but it’ll still be a real concern when the Bears have to drop back and let a play develop.

3. How important has Danny Trevathan been in the Bears’ defense over the last few years? He’s certainly been missed in Denver.

Danny Trevathan doesn’t get enough credit for his leadership and communication as the signal-caller. He’s held the defense together and limited their mistakes in ways that don’t show up on the stat sheet. Early on in Chicago, his injury issues lingered, but 2018 was his first 16-game season, and it was noticeable. He turns 30 in March, and his contract is up at the end of the season. His future with the Bears is somewhat unclear with Roquan Smith ready to emerge in the middle of their defense.

4. In fantasy football, Tarik Cohen is obviously the Bears running back to own in PPR leagues. But what about David Montgomery — should fantasy owners be worried that Montgomery only got six carries last week — and will Mike Davis eat into Montgomery’s touches all season?

Tarik Cohen only lined up in the backfield for a few snaps last week, playing primarily at slot receiver. His move left all of the carries for David Montgomery and Mike Davis, who were both abandoned in Week 1 as the offense went pass-heavy. Matt Nagy continues to insist they’re taking it slow with their rookie third-round pick. They don’t want to ask him to do too much too early, but he looked more than ready in limited action last week. For now, Mike Davis will get plenty of action, but Montgomery should slowly overtake him as the season goes on.

5. Who do you think wins the game and why?

The Bears are favored on the road, and I expect them to cover the spread in another low-scoring game. Their defense continued to play like a top-five group last week, holding Packers to 10 points. The Broncos have some real talent at the skill positions, but Joe Flacco is no Aaron Rodgers. Chicago doesn’t expect to be held out of the endzone again, but I don’t think it’ll be pretty for either offense.
