VIKINGS/BEARS- Preview

What is most eye catching is the difference in the Vikings passing and rushing defenses.  They are 1st in rushing and 31st in passing.  I recall thinking toward the beginning of the year, their pass defense would be a strength.  A lot of any success the Vikings are going to have this week, is going to be based on whether or not Hutchinson and Taylor play.  It won't affect the outcome, but will the point spread.
