The Bears and Vikings could’ve made history in Week 12.
You have to look back to Week 6 to understand.
That’s when the Vikings beat the Bears 19-13 in an uninspiring game that saw neither team reach 300 yards of offense. The Vikings “improved” to 2-4, and the Bears fell to 1-5.
The teams’ next meeting would be in six weeks, and it had the makings of another dud, particularly if Bears backup quarterback Tyson Bagent was still playing for an injured Justin Fields.
