the Vikings willCheap Anthony Barr Jersey face a divisional opponent they have seen every single year since their inaugural season in 1961. While the Vikings still have a winning record against the Bears, it isn’t as pronounced as their historical advantage over the Lions.Let’s take our weekly look at some of the history between the Vikings and their upcoming opponents. As always, all of the numbers used in this post come from the good folks at Pro Football Reference.Total games between the Vikings and the Bears: 114All-time record: Vikings, 60-51-2 regular season; Bears, 1-0 postseasonTotal Vikings points scored, head-to-head: 2,402 (21.1 points/game)Total Bears points scored, head-to-head: 2,216 (19.4 points/game)Longest Vikings winning streak vs Bears: 8 games (3 December 1972 - 10 October 1976)Longest Bears winning streak vs Vikings: 6 games (twice, most recently from 28 December 2009 - 25 November 2012)Most Recent Vikings road win in series: 9 October 2017 (final score 20-17)Most Recent Bears home win in series: 31 October 2016 (final score 20-10)Biggest Vikings road win in series: 31 points, 12 October 1969 (final score 31-0)Biggest Bears home win in series: 31 points, 17 September 1989 (final score 38-7)Current streak: Vikings, 3 winsThroughout the evenly matched series Cheap Adam Thielen Jersey , home field advantage has been very important. The Bears hold a 31-23-2 advantage over the Vikings in Chicago while the Vikings lead 37-21-0 in Minnesota. Before Mike Zimmer came to town, Soldier Field was an absolute house of horrors for the Vikings—they had lost 12 of their previous 13 visits to Chicago. The Vikings are 2-2 in the Windy City over the past four seasons, including coming away with victories in two of their last three visits.The most recent game in this series was the 2017 regular season finale, where the Vikings clinched the #2 seed in the NFC and took care of the Bears by a score of 23-10. Latavius Murray had 111 yards and two scores. Stefon Diggs led the way receiving with 6 grabs for 65 yards and a score. Chicago was held to just 30 yards rushing on the day in their final game with John Fox as Head Coach. Bears fans have to enjoy the fact that Fox was put out of his misery since Matt Nagy has the team at 6-3 in his first year at the helm.That’s a quick look back at the history between the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings. Hopefully the purple can get their third win in their four tries at Soldier Field and leave Chicago atop the division.Minnesota Vikings: Will the hurtin’ ever stop? If you’re a Vikings fan, then you’ve seen plenty of heartbreak through the history of the franchise. Whenever the team has it going for them, something promising, it somehow all falls apart. Let’s be honest, this may be the most talented Vikings team that fans have seen in at least a decade. That’s fair to say, right? It’s safe to say that the team has already improved talent wise, since last season. But with the amount of injuries that the offensive line has suffered so far, takes a big hit on depth and being able to build a successful line. It doesn’t matter who you have behind that line, if the linemen can’t successfully do their job, then the offense just will not be as promising as it should be. Offensive linemen Josh Andrews and Cedrick Lang were two of the six players to go down with injuries on Saturday. Andrews hurt his ankle and was helped off the field. However http://www.vikingscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-trae-waynes-jersey , Lang’s injury looked to be a little more severe. He was carted off the field with a lower leg injury. Minnesota was already out with four starting offensive linemen to begin with: Mike Remmers, Rashod Hill, Pat Elflein and Nick Easton. Head coach Mike Zimmer is expecting Remmers to be back by next week and Elflein to be good to go by the start of the regular-season. He still seems to be unsure about the timetable for Hill’s return. This is what Zimmer had to say about the injury-plagued line:This isn’t the first and won’t be the last time where injuries derail a season. But in all honesty, if Remmers and Elflein can return before the regular-season begins, then the offense may be alright. It’s important for Hill to make a quick return too, although Brian O’Neill is fighting for a starting spot, the two are the only right tackles on the depth chart.With Andrews being out, that only leaves Tom Compton and newly signed guard Kaleb Johnson at left guard. The Vikings are rolling with this “next man up” mentality, but what happens when there isn’t another guy to step up?I’m not panicking, but I’m definitely concerned about the first few weeks of the season strictly because of the offensive line.I know I’m not the only one who thinks that, I do hope it all works itself out.
