The Chicago Bears have lost seven in a row. Now they must go into U.S. Bank Stadium against a surging Minnesota Vikings team that has already beaten them once this season. One can’t forget the last meeting that saw them hang 30 points on the defense. Considering how the unit looked last week against San Francisco, it isn’t encouraging to think this rematch will be any better. That is especially true since confirmation arrived that the Bears will be without one of their best players for the game.
