The Minnesota Vikings start their final lap around the NFC North on Sunday with a home tilt against the Chicago Bears.
The last time the Vikings saw the Bears, they were 4-6 and in desperate need of a win — which they almost nabbed before Minnesota stole one in overtime.
Since then, the Vikings haven’t lost and the Bears haven’t won — they’ve lost seven straight — while firing their head coach in the meantime.
But it’s still a divisional game in the Black-and-Blue division, and there are no gimmes.
