The struggling Chicago Bears face the hungry Minnesota Vikings in Soldier Field at 1 p.m. ET for the NFC Nort matchup in Week 12.
The Bears need this homecoming as they have struggled in their past two games.
I mean, the math is easy, sit Jay Cutler and have Jason Campbell running your offense and you're not going to do well.
The Bears were embarassed in Monday Night Football as the San Francisco 49ers and second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick ran all over them on offense and defense.
Jay Cutler has been rumored to being ready for today's matchup, which is more than vital for the Bears' successful.
Coming into the matchup, the Bears' offense ranks in the lowest in the league. They are 31st in passing averaging 176 yards per game, which gives them only 299 per game in total, which is 30th in the league. Their running game is their forte as Matt Forte and Michael Bush have done a great job rushing the ball.
The Bears are 10th in the league with 122 yards per game.
Without a doubt, this matchup is all about defense.
The Vikings are an average defensive team, but that is their strength aside from their 3rd best running game in the NFL.
The Bears are ferocious on defense even though they gave up 32 points against the 49ers.
Expect this one to be a low scoring matchup as this NFC North battle will go down to the wire.
