Wondering about a player, a past game or another issue involving the Bears? Senior writer Larry Mayer answers a variety of email questions from fans on ChicagoBears.com.
I remember the Bears losing to the Packers in a horrible rainstorm on Halloween in the mid-1990s on the night they retired the jersey numbers of Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers. Have the Bears played on Halloween since that loss?

Monday night’s game against the Vikings will mark the third time the Bears have played on Halloween since the game you referred to—a 33-6 loss to Brett Favre and the Packers in horribly wet and windy conditions.
