The Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings are playing an NFC North divisional game on Sunday at Mall of America Field and after being defeated by the Rams last week, Chicago will be looking to get back on track in the division race with the Lions and that means a win on Sunday and the game will be streaming live on the radio and on TV from FOX starting up at 1:00 pm for Week 13.
The Bears gave up way too many rushing yards last week against the St. Louis Rams in the tough loss last Sunday on the road and despite backup Josh McCown throwing for over 350 yards in the game, the team could not overcome the running attack of Benny Cunningham and Zac Stacy and they ended up giving up over 100 yards to the rookie when he came in for the injured starter and now the rush defense for the Bears is ranked last in the NFL and the team now needs to pull together to win against the Vikings on Sunday, as they have to try and remain in the NFC playoff picture and with the Detroit Lions winning big on Thursday on Thanksgiving against the Green Bay Packers, it looks like the North is now theirs to lose. Brandon Marshall had over 100 yards on the game and the team now plays the Vikings on the road before returning home for the first time in two games and the last time in three before hitting the road again and they play the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night football in Week 14.

The Bears come into the game ranked seventh in the league in passing yards per game from the play of Jay Cutler and Josh McCown and the work from receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery has helped that along and so has the play of Matt Forte, who has been a huge factor in both the passing and the rushing game. The team is ranked 22nd in the league in rushing yards per game, but Forte has one of the highest total yards numbers in the league and the team is also ranked 13th in passing yards and last in the league in rushing yards and playing against Adrian Peterson could be very tough.
The team started the season 3-0 before dropping three of the next four games and after winning a big game on Monday night football against the Green Bay Packers that saw Aaron Rodgers injured, the team has lost two of three games and won against the Ravens in overtime in a sloppy game and now the team has the Vikings and a road game in three of the next four weeks, as they will return home to play the Chicago Bears on Monday night football at Soldier Field and after that the team plays the Cleveland Browns and the Philadelphia Eagles on the road and then they have a huge game to finish the season at home in Week 17 against the Packers and that could mean two wins against the team this season after winning on the road at Lambeau.
