Should be a fun game! Our history at soldier field hasn't been great though.

 

It's not great, but they are 2-2 in the Zimmer era and did win the last one the last time they played in Soldier Field in November (2015).  And it can't be like that last time they played on Sunday Night at Soldier Field, when they got McNabbed (and Ponder made his debut).  Only Everson and Rudolph remain from that squad.

I'm most concerned about Cousins. He's due for a fumble or two, seems like Mack gets a strip sack every game.

He does fairly well in cold weather games though (which they haven't had often in a QB), which is what it's forecasted to be then.  We'll just have to see.

I think that this is the game of the season for both teams and will determine who wins the division. Trubisky has been improving every week and the team's defense has been dominant. I can't imagine the Bears being able to run, so it will need to rely on the passing game. I suspect that the game will hinge on the Vikings' secondary being able to stick with the Bears' receivers. Can't wait!

Mitchell Trubisky shined in Sunday’s victory. The second-year passer recorded 355 passing yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions. Trubisky, who added a rushing score of his own, logged a quarterback rating of 95.7 in his first career win over a divisional opponent. Dickerson wrote:

Trubisky has endured periodic lapses in accuracy during the season, but he was dialed-in from the opening drive. Even when forced to throw off schedule, Trubisky's passes found the mark, including balls to wide receivers Allen Robinson (six catches for 133 yards and two TDs in his first game back from injury) and rookie Anthony Miller (five catches for 122 yards and a touchdown).

Marcus Sherels? He has been around at long as Everson and longer than Rudolph. Is it because he as on the practice squad for most of 2010 that you don't count him? Rudolph was still playing for Notre Dame that year.

That's the ESPN total qbr (100).  His actual qbr was 149.6 (158.3) He trails Cousins on the year by just .6 (101.6 v 102.2).  Should be a great game.  The winner will be in 1st place after the game.  A Bears win will them up by 2 games and give them a tiebreaker advantage.  A Vikings win gives them a 1/2 game lead with the tiebreaker advantage.  The 2 will face off again in week 17 where the division may be on the line.

2011 was Rudolph's rookie year.  He was on the team because that game was in 2011.  But, you were correct, I had forgotten about Sherels.  He was there as well.
