We all know what happened last time these two teams played, so avenging the “Fail Mary” should be a huge priority for these Bears. When you also consider it is the first game out of the BYE, against a Conference opponent, and will be nationally televised on Monday Night Football, this one gets my vote. Not only will they need to win these types of games against strong opponents to make the playoffs, but the confidence gained from a victory against such an opponent in prime time will be paramount as they prepare for the final stretch of the season, which concludes with four NFC games in the last five weeks. Winning on the road against a playoff team will be huge.
