The Chicago Bears live to fight another day.
Faced with what amounted to an elimination game, the Bears -- led by their rejuvenated offense -- outlasted the Minnesota Vikings 33-27 at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The win improved the Bears' (7-7) playoffs odds to 35% with two weeks left to play, according to ESPN's Football Power Index. Had the Bears lost, those postseason chances would have plummeted to 2%.
