The 6-3 Chicago Bears host the 5-3-1 Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night in a Week 11 battle for first place in the NFC North. The knock on each team has been that neither has that “signature” win because they haven’t beaten anyone with a winning record. That changes Sunday night as someone will emerge victorious and in control of the NFC North. It’s looking like a two-horse race down the stretch as both the Packers and Lions are below .500 and struggling.
For the Bears, this is probably a year ahead of schedule with rookie head coach Matt Nagy and second-year quarterback Mitch Trubisky steering a Bears offense that has taken a 180-degree turn over last season’s unit.
