If the Bears had held on in the fourth quarter of Week 1 against the Vikings, Chicago could have been 7-2 before facing its NFC North rival.
Instead, the Bears are looking to avenge their 27-24 loss to Minnesota on “Monday Night Football” and keep pace for the lead in the NFC North and the conference’s seventh seed.
Chicago caught a small but significant break for Sunday’s game.

Per Kevin Seifert of ESPN, Vikings second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered a hand injury during the team’s 27-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. He’s expected to play the Bears, but the issue will have a slight impact on his prep.
“Also, J.J. McCarthy will have a bandage today on his right hand, per Kevin O’Connell, after hitting it on a helmet Sunday,” Seifert posted on X. “It is not expected to impact his week of prep “very much,” O’Connell said, and he remains set to play Sunday vs. the Bears.”

Coaches usually exaggerate the extent (or lack thereof) of injuries leading up to a game.
McCarthy’s injury is a big issue for Minnesota, as Carson Wentz is out for the season due to a shoulder injury that required surgery. Rookie quarterback Max Brosmer is McCarthy’s backup for Sunday.
McCarthy struggled during the first half of the season opener against the Bears. However, he led a strong second-half surge, finishing the game 13-of-20 passing for 143 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He added 25 yards and one touchdown on the ground.
