The blueprint for success for the Chicago Bears really hasn’t changed very much, so if some of these slides seem to be somewhat of a repeat, that’s understandable.
After all, this is a Bears team that wins on the strength of its defense and special teams, while trying to limit mistakes on the offensive side of the ball.
Coming off of a horrendous performance against the Patriots last Sunday, the Bears find themselves with a golden opportunity to get back on track against the Vikings on Monday night at TCF Bank Stadium.
This is a Vikings team that comes in with a new coach in Leslie Frazier (who just happens to be an ex-Bear) trying to impress the front office in hopes of turning his interim tag into a permanent one after the season.
