For being a 1-6 team, the Bears are on primetime television a lot. Unlike last time, there is no baseball game going against it so there is nothing to really distract from the Bears and their crappy season.
Chicago has just this game standing between it and their bye week. One game before a nice, long break to try and get healthier and regroup for the second half stretch of the season.
However, they must face one of the top teams in the NFL, the 5-1 Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings were the last undefeated team standing before losing to the Philadelphia Eagles last week.
