Week 13: Vikings (6-5) vs. Bears (6-5)

Coming off last Sunday's dominating victory over Jacksonville, the Vikings find themselves in a dogfight for first place atop the NFC North. Tonight's game against the Chicago Bears will be the tiebreaker for first in what has been a neck-and-neck division race. Here are a few keys to the game:

1) A Thorn In Their Side
In his three career meetings against the Chicago Bears, Adrian Peterson has rushed for an average of 141 yards and seven touchdowns. It's no doubt that No. 28 will continue to give the Bears defense fits throughout the night.


2) Pass Attack
Although he hasn't been a factor over the last couple games, Bernard Berrian put up 81 yards on six receptions with one touchdown against his former team during Week 7. Look for the Bears' 30th-ranked pass defense to struggle agaist Berrian and the improved Visanthe Shiancoe.

There's plenty more to this game, but not enough time. My apologies for the short post, but we will have more for you after the game.
