Week 17: Bears (11-4) at VIKINGS (8-6-1)

Receiver Brandon Zylstra will fill in at punt returner with both Marcus Sherels (foot) and Beebe (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday. Zylstra had one return for 8 yards against the Lions and was rocked on another return that drew a catch interference penalty in Detroit. Ball security is the biggest emphasis for Zylstra, who has adjusted to NFL rules after returning punts in the Canadian Football League.

Zylstra:  “I’ve been catching them for weeks now, I feel comfortable back there.”

I wouldn't count on Philly losing to Washington. This is a must win game.

Yeah if we lose today, we don't deserve a post season.

Nagy is reportedly not pulling any punches so Cousins needs to prove he can beat a good defense.

This is a game the Vikings must show up for. Sure, we can still back into the playoffs with an Eagles loss, but they need to show that they can win a big game. This team is simply more talented than the Bears

The Bears are really good. Their main limitation is Trubisky, and Nagy's scheme and the supporting cast have been able to make up for that.

Their defense is every bit as good as the Vikings in terms of talent. Mack is the best player on either team. They have one of the better OLs in the league. Their receivers are a little worse than the Vikings, but only slightly. Their RBs are as good or better. Their kicker is better. 

There are still reasonable questions as to how high the Bears' ceiling is with Trubisky at QB. They've won some big games, but all of them have been at home. They may have to win 2 road games to make it to the Super Bowl, which will be a tall order. But their defense will give them a chance.

Allen Robinson and Eddie Jackson aren't playing, and probably would if it was a playoff game, so Nagy isn't exactly swinging for the fences today.

Well Jackson sitting is pretty big with how he's been playing this year.

Well yeah, until either they are down a couple scores, or see the Rams are up. 

In reality, this could just end up being their bye week. There will be scoreboard watching.
