McCarthy has struggled in the passing game, and Jefferson has shown some frustration of late. Can they get it rolling against the Bears?
The Bears are proving they can win football games despite being without one key defensive starter. Could a trade be coming this offseason?
The Chicago Bears (6-3) and the Minnesota Vikings (4-5) faceoff this Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Plenty on the line in this clash of NFC North rivals.
