et/10am pt. This contest will mark the 32nd time, including playoffs, that the
Bears will have played at the Metrodome, the most of any Vikings opponent.
Minnesota is moving after the season to TCF Bank Stadium, the home of the
University of Minnesota, while its new venue in downtown Minneapolis, which is
set to open for the 2016 season, is being built. The Bears handed the Vikings a
heartbreaking 31-30 loss in the teams first matchup of the season back in Week 2
on a last second TD, a development that foreshadowed Minnesotas disastrous
season, which has included four different fourth-quarter collapses, including
lasts weeks 16-point implosion in Green Bay. Trailing 23-7 early in the final
frame, the Packers scored 16 unanswered points with Matt Flynn under center to
send that game into overtime. Green Bays Mason Crosby and the Vikings
Blair Walsh each made field goals for their respective teams in the extra
session, but neither team got much going on offense after that and ended in a
26-26 deadlock, the NFLs first tie since Nov. 11, 2012, when the 49ers and Rams
played to a 24-24 stalemate. For the Vikings, it was the first time they kissed
their sister since 1978, also against the Packers. Christian Ponder connected on
21-of-30 passes for 233 yards and a touchdown for the Vikings, who were coming
off a 41-20 loss at Seattle. Adrian Peterson carried the ball 32 times for 146
yards and a score while bruising backup Toby Gerhart added eight totes for 91
yards. "We let it get out of our hands," Ponder said. "Its unfortunate were not
walking away with our third victory." The Bears, meanwhile, lost a chance to
take over sole possession of first place in the NFC North when they were drubbed
by the St. Louis Rams, 42-21. Josh McCown was 36-of-47 for 352 yards with two
touchdowns and an interception and Brandon Marshall hauled in 10 receptions for
117 yards and a touchdown for Chicago, which remains tied with Detroit for the
top spot in the division following the Lions loss to Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"There are a lot of reasons why you lose, and we didnt do a good job of stopping
the run," Bears head coach Marc Trestman said. The Long brothers, Chicago guard
Kyle and St. Louis defensive end Chris, were the focal point of a scuffle in the
second quarter. In the skirmish, Kyle Long appeared to kick Rams defensive end
William Hayes before Chris Long intervened as he dragged his younger brother
away from the fracas. "He happened to be a body I saw, so I grabbed him,"
Chris Long said. "Im sure theres some out there disappointed with it if they
were glued to the TV looking for conflict between us." The Vikings and Bears
have played 105 times overall with Minnesota holding a slim 53-50-2 edge.
Chicago, however, has won seven of the past eight in the series.
