The Chicago Bears have a little more at stake than just divisional bragging rights when it comes to their battle with the Minnesota Vikings Sunday.
The team will take the field on Sunday afternoon at Mall of America Field and will also be trying to keep pace with the Detroit Lions in the NFC North race. Not to mention they'll be trying to keep up with the teams they are chasing in the Wild Card race, including the Cardinals, Panthers, and 49’ers.
We'll be watching the game, will you?
