The Bears host Detroit at noon at Soldier Field on Nov. 13.Key Individual MatchupsBears CB Jaylon Johnson vs. Dolphins WR Tyreek HillSurprisingly, Hill doesn't have a speed clocking in the top 20 this year by NextGen Stats. Neither does Waddle. But the speed is there. Johnson has enjoyed a great deal of respect from QBs, who have avoided him. He has faced only 17 targets, allowing 52.9% completions and a pa ser rating against of 77.1. Those are career bests. It's much easier for opponents to aim at rookies Kyler Gordon or Jaquan Brisker, or Kindle Vildor than Johnson. It won Babe Herman Jersey 't stop the Dolphins from targeting Hill if he's covered by Johnson. Hill's natural spot is the right side of the formation but the Dolphins move both receivers around to each spot so it wouldn't be surprising to see Johnson lining up at left cornerback in this game at times and covering Hill.Bears CB Kyler Gordon vs. Dolphins WR Jaylen WaddleWaddle lines up mostly on the outside but when they bring him inside to the slot he has really done damage, turning 10-yard pa ses into 50-yard gains. Gordon is graded 88th out of 110 cornerbacks Pro Football Focus scores and has had a typical rookie year. He played a great game against New England and against Washington, struggled in many others. Waddle is lightning quick. The Bears call it critical to get their hands on receivers but Waddle is so fast it's not always easy to accomplish this.Bears T Braxton Jones vs. Dolphins DE Bradley ChubbChubb got traded to the Dolphins and now he has his $110 million contractall of this for a player with one double-figure sack season, and that as a rookie. Chubb is healthy now and that's been his real problem. The Dolphins haven't been terrible getting sacks from other sources but no one has more than three this year and they'll count on
