Their remaining schedules are comparably difficult, so it&#8217;s not out of the realm of possibility to think the last game of the regular season might be for the division and home field throughout the NFC playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But first, they need to beat the struggling Bears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Week 11 against Tennessee, quarterback Sam Darnold rebounded from his horrific performance against Jacksonville in Week 10 when he threw three picks. Minnesota was lucky to escape with a 12-7 win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Tennessee, he completed 20 of 32 passes for 246 yards and two TD passes in the 23-13 win. Against Chicago, ball security will be key. Two of the few areas in which the Bears have played well are takeaway differential (+9) and pass defense (ninth in the league in yards allowed per game). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sound fundamentals are imperative against a reeling team. Minnesota needs to run the ball, so expect running back Aaron Jones to get plenty of work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"big-changes-pending-in-chicago\">Big Changes Pending in Chicago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chicago&#8217;s fourth straight loss followed a familiar script. Though their offense was more aggressive under interim offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, they lost when Green Bay&#8217;s Karl Brooks blocked Cairo Santos&#8217; attempted game-winning 46-yard field goal as time expired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s difficult not to have empathy for Bears head coach Matt Eberflus. He has been working his way up the coaching ranks for 30 years and was Indianapolis&#8217; defensive coordinator for four years before being hired by the Bears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barring a miraculous run to the playoffs, he will be fired in favor of an offensive-minded upstart who can maximize and develop rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to point to the Week 8 Hail Mary loss to Washington and say that&#8217;s where the season came apart. They were one batted-down pass away from being 5-2. Now, here they are, 4-6 and in last place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the season essentially over, a head coach awaiting his inevitable fate, a new OC, and a frustrated team, there&#8217;s nothing to lose. They are also due a little luck. Minnesota is vulnerable to the pass, so Williams should come out firing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vikings-vs-bears-prediction-chicago-pulls-off-an-upset\">Vikings vs Bears Prediction: Chicago Pulls Off an Upset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its 8-2 record and three-game winning streak, the Vikings have struggled. With an angry Bears team at home, the landscape screams &#8220;upset.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chicago will win outright and the teams will score at least 40 points. <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chicago Bears (4-6) host their longtime NFC North rivals, the Minnesota Vikings (8-2).
