Burden's deep role limited vs. Vikings' 80%+ blitz rate

Luther Burden's role is limited in Week 2 against the Vikings' heavy blitz scheme. The source notes that while Bears offensive coordinator Ben Johnson knows the Vikings will blitz heavily, he will avoid deep play-action shots downfield to Burden because of the lack of time in the pocket. Instead, the Bears are expected to rely more on short passes and screen passes to tight ends like Loveland, suggesting Burden's role may be constrained in this particular matchup.
