ESPN NFL Insider Mike Sando spends each Sunday with ESPN NFL analyst Jon Gruden and the Monday Night Football crew. This week, theyre in Chicago, for the Minnesota Vikings-Chicago Bears matchup (ESPN, 8:30 p.m. ET). Here are some takeaways from Gruden on the game.CHICAGO -- The Vikings look vulnerable despite taking an NFC North-leading 5-1 record into their Monday Night Football visit to Soldier Field. Other contending teams around the conference will be watching to see if the Bears can keep Minnesota on the ropes following the Vikings rough outing -- and their first loss of 2016 -- at Philadelphia last week.The Bears have no shortage of their own issues, of course, but the five-point formula for beating the Vikings is worth our attention regardless.1. Overwhelm the Vikings offensive lineVikings coach Mike Zimmer used the word soft to describe his offensive line following the debacle at Philly. That was really harsh. The individual players on this line are not soft, but they have undoubtedly been vulnerable. The Eagles overwhelmed the Vikings with perimeter blitzes. They got home with free safety blitzes, strong safety blitzes, nickel corner blitzes -- you name it.

MIAMI -- On Friday night, San Diego Padres right-hander Jarred Cosart will get a chance to stick it to the Miami Marlins, the team that traded him on July 31.Cosart, who will step on the Marlins Park mound for the first time since July 25, will face Miami right-hander David Phelps (7-6, 2.28 ERA). Cosart is 0-1 with a 4.54 ERA.Im just trying to prepare like its another major league start, Cosart said. I get nervous before every major league start. Im sure I will have that same nervous excitement.Cosart said he is trying to build off what Ive been doing the past three starts, when he posted a 3.78 ERA and walked just four batters in 16 2/3 innings.Its been a battle for Cosart since his breakthrough year of 2014. He split his time that year between the Houston Astros and the Marlins, going 13-11 with a 3.69 ERA. However, he is just 2-6 since then.Phelps, meanwhile, has been outstanding all year, first as a set-up reliever and more recently as a starter after Miami suffered rotation injuries to Wei-Yin Chen, Colin Rea and Adam Conley. Rea, who was part of the seven-player trade that brought Cosart to San Diego, was returned to the Padres after he got hurt in his first start.With all that adversity, Phelps has come through, posting a 1.31 ERA in his first four starts. He has allowed hitters just a .192 batting average and a .550 OPS.The Marlins (66-61) need to win this series against a Padres team that is not in playoff contention with a lowly 53-74 record.MMiami may look to start newly acquired outfielder Jeff Francoeur this weekend.ddddddddddddFrancoeur, who was acquired in a trade with the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday, arrived in Miami on Thursday and got an infield single as a pinch-hitter in his Marlins debut.Among his new teammates is Martin Prado, who played with him when they were with the Atlanta Braves.Ive played against the Marlins forever, Francoeur said. I do know some familiar faces. I have respect for a lot of these guys and (manager Don) Mattingly and his staff.Im excited. (The trade to a playoff contender) was something I needed. It was a tough year in Atlanta with all the rebuilding.
