Featured Game Week 6 - Minnesota Vikings At
Chicago Bears
|
This is the second nationally
televised game in a row for Chicago. Last week they were the
Monday night game and Jay Cutler got hit more than a piñata at a
birthday party. The Vikings looked like perhaps they had found
themselves in the last game while Chicago is struggling both on
offense and defense some recently. This is a division matchup
which always brings out the best in players and both teams have
to feel a sense of urgency with their two other division foes
both off to 5-0 starts. Should be a fun game for a football fan
to watch. |

Jay Cutler and the Bears start off fast. He hit a big pass to
culminate a quick drive. For the record the Bears kept Cutler
upright in the first drive, if they can do that the whole game
they will probably win. |

The Vikings finally get on the scoreboard but they only came up
with a field goal. That won't help them close the more than two
touchdown deficit they put themselves in. |

Following a terrible punt by the Vikings the Bears got a short
field to work with. One minute and 23 seconds later they had
their third TD of the first half. This game could get out of
hand if the Vikings don't wake up. |

The Vikings' joy was short lived. Devin Hester took the kickoff
for a TD and a very quick answer. This is shaping up to be the
kind of game that produces a "lucky dog". We'll talk more about
that later perhaps. |

This is starting to get out of hand. The Bears are still a
little way from the "green" but at least they are out of the red
now. They still aren't piling up the PossessionPoints but they
are lighting up the scoreboard. |
