Vikings kicker Blair Walsh hasn’t been Mr. Reliable as of late, and Bears kicker Connor Barth still hasn’t won the trust of all fans in the Windy City. Kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson, who’s averaging nearly 30 yards per kick return, may be on Minnesota’s sideline due to a concussion, but Marcus Sherels will be a threat in the punt return game for the Vikings. Sherels has returned two punts for touchdowns this year thus far, and did take one to the house against the Bears in 2015.

Advantage: Vikings
