In their previous outing, the Bears, led by quarterback Justin Fields returning from a thumb injury, gave a tough challenge to the Detroit Lions. Despite intercepting Jared Goff three times and leading most of the fourth quarter, the Bears succumbed to a late Lions touchdown, sealing their fate with a strip sack for a safety.

Meanwhile, the Vikings enter the matchup following a loss to the Denver Broncos, breaking their five-game win streak. Quarterback Joshua Dobbs, after an impressive start with back-to-back wins, faced challenges in the form of turnovers against the Broncos. The Vikings anticipate the return of star receiver Justin Jefferson, who has been sidelined since Week 5 due to a hamstring injury.

The Vikings previously triumphed over the Bears in Week 6 at Soldier Field with a 19-13 victory. Fields dislocated his thumb in that game, leading to Tyson Bagent taking over. The Bears’ quarterbacks struggled, combining for only 113 passing yards, while Vikings linebacker Danielle Hunter recorded 2 sacks.
