STACKED’s take
Caleb Williams faces unpredictable Flores blitz rates ranging 40.9%–77.8% in prior matchups.
Caleb Williams faces Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores in Week 2, a matchup with significant historical variance in blitz rate. Flores has faced Williams four previous times with blitz rates ranging from 40.9% to 77.8%—the two games under 50% occurred in 2025 Week 1 (40.9%) and 2024 Week 12 (44.4%), while the two games above 50% were 2024 Week 15 (60.0%) and 2025 Week 11 (77.8%). This unpredictability is central to Flores' defensive approach; Bears head coach Ben Johnson noted that Flores "keeps you on your toes" with blitz packages that come "from all over the place," hitting in the A gap, outside the tackles, and bringing zero blitz more than any other coordinator in the league across all situations (normal downs, second-and-long, third-downs, redzone). In Week 1 against Green Bay, Flores blitzed on 82.1% of dropbacks, establishing a baseline for aggressive pressure that Williams must prepare for.
