With the Green Bay Packers losing this past Thursday night, the matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings is now more important than before. The winner of this contest will be tied for first place in the NFC North, while the loser will have sole possession of last place in the division at the end of Week 4—all of this is under the assumption that the Detroit Lions lose to the Kansas City Chiefs.
As far as the Bears, things are looking up. They are riding the wave of a two-game winning streak, and more importantly, their offense has shown signs of life.
