The Bears drop to the tenth spot in the NFC Standings, showing the steep hill they have to climb to be in the playoff picture. What better place to start tonight than at home against a divisional foe--the Minnesota VIkings. Additionally, look for this little chart to make its way into our Wild Card Watch series, which will resume this week.
But before that, virtually everyone else gets to play, and that's why we're here. Enjoy an afternoon of football that includes the 49ers coming into the Lion's Den, and the Rams traipsing to Green Bay to have their horns removed.
Your full slate of early games is after the jump.
