Things may get even scarier for Chicago Bears fans this Halloween. Week 8 of the 2016 NFL season will feature a Monday night matchup between the NFC North leading Minnesota Vikings and the 1-6 Bears. The Vikings are coming off of their first defeat of the year, and are looking to get back on track by adding yet another loss to Chicago’s disappointing record. If the Bears can find a way to penetrate Minnesota’s top-ranked defense, they could go into their bye week on a much-needed positive note.

Both teams are dealing with numerous injuries, and could possibly be without key players. However, looking at the entire picture, this could still be a lopsided battle once all is said and done.
