The Vikings have won six of the past seven matchups against Chicago, including three in a row. Minnesota hasn't had a longer winning streak over the Bears since taking four straight between the 1997 and 1998 seasons.

The Vikings have won four of five games, most recently defeating the Lions, 24-9, in Week 9. Minnesota is 2-5 in games following a bye since 2011, tied for the third-worst mark by any team over that time.

Chicago has won three in a row, with its most recent victory also coming at the expense of the Lions. The Bears tied a season high with six sacks against Detroit and have an NFL-best six games this season with at least four sacks.

The Bears have 24 takeaways this season, trailing the Browns by one for the NFL lead. Chicago has scored 89 points this season as a result of takeaways, most in the NFL. The Vikings have committed at least one turnover in every game but one this season (Week 7 vs. Jets).

Kirk Cousins ranks third in the NFL with a 71.3 completion percentage and is one of five QBs this season at 70.0 or better. Since completion percentage was first tracked in 1932, only in one season have multiple qualified QBs finished the season with a 70.0 completion percentage or higher (2016 - Sam Bradford & Drew Brees).

Mitchell Trubisky threw for 355 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Lions. He has two games this season with 350+ pass yards, 3+ passing touchdowns and zero interceptions; in the Super Bowl era, no other Bears' QB has ever had those numbers in a game.

5-4-1 isn't bad, but we still have to go to New England and Seattle. Not pretty.

If the OL isn't addressed this offseason, that will be the final straw.

WHY the favoritism for Dalvin Cook? I get it that he's more talented than Murray, but Murray is more suited to this OL and doesn't have a fumbling problem.

Vikings Packers this week is gonna be huge. Who wins has the tiebreaker and has a good shot at a wildcard spot... Obviously Packers could screw up their relatively easy schedule the rest of the way (well, because they suck) and the Vikings could just crush their relatively more difficult schedule to make it all moot... But at least right now, pretty big implications.

Watch neither of them make it and it end up being the Seahawks and Cowboys...

Perhaps, lol. I mean realistically the Packers are awful and don't belong there anyway. And if the playoffs gives McCarthy another season... not worth losing in the wildcard round. lol

Green Bay has a really, really easy schedule. I'm kind of fuming about it, to be honest.
