A (Second) Brief Look At Bears/Vikings History

Much like last week's game with the Green Bay Packers, we've already taken one look at the history between the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings, but now the scene shifts from Soldier Field to the Metrodome. This will be the last time these two teams play under the teflon sky, and the Bears will probably be quite happy to never have to see the place again.

As always, these statistics come to you from the folks at Pro Football Reference.

Total Games Between the Bears and the Vikings: 104

All-Time Record: Vikings, 53-49-2

Total Vikings Points Scored, Head-to-Head: 2,183 (21 points/game)

And since someone's probably wondering after last week's result. . .yes, these two teams have tied twice in their history, but both ties occurred in Chicago. There was a 17-17 deadlock on 1 December 1963, and a 10-10 tie on 10 December 1967.

Not a whole lot has changed history-wise since the last time these two teams got together, folks. . .hopefully the Vikings can get the best of the Bears one final time at the Metrodome before the stadium meets the wrecking ball.
