The Chicago Bears will face the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, where Chicago is looking to stack back-to-back wins.
The Bears are coming off their first win of the season (and first in nearly a year) against the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. Quarterback Justin Fields continued to thrive and receiver DJ Moore had a career game.
Now, Chicago will face off against a Minnesota team that will be without star receiver Justin Jefferson, who landed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
Here’s how the Bears and Vikings stack up statistically ahead of Sunday’s matchup:
