Here’s the deal: Bears

The Vikings head to the Carny Fun House that is Soldier Field on Sunday night, and there is a ton at stake for both teams. In recent years, it’s been rare that both the Vikes and Bears have been this good this late in the season, so there hasn’t been a matchup between these two rivals with this much at stake since...2012, maybe? That year the Vikings won their last four to go 10-6 and get to the playoffs as a wild card, while the Bears missed the playoffs, but also went 10-6. They had a December matchup in Minnesota that the Vikings won, 21-14, thanks in large part to a 154 yards rushing and two TD’s from Adrian Peterson, and a pick six from Harrison Smith.
