Vikings (10) @ Bears (28)

There were voices far and wide calling for the Chicago Bears to reward their star running back with a new contract. And Forte received his wish as he was signed to a four-year, $30 million deal. But are the Bears getting their money's worth?

Devin Hester has officially been ruled out versus Seahawks.

The Bears took the wind out of the Vikings' sails last Sunday. Here's how they did it.

The Vikings' defensive end was fined $21,000 for his hit on the Chicago offensive lineman.

Many fans were calling for a suspension of Jared Allen after his vicious hit that ended lance Louis' season, but the league decided that wasn't called for.

He exudes a certain amount of charm when he scrambles away from a collapsing pocket and makes a great throw when he had no right to do so. It's a recklessness that sets him apart from other quarterbacks, and the Bears need to fully exploit this.

Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice used a simple gameplan to beat the Vikings at their own game.

Officially the Chicago Bears gave up one sack to the Minnesota Vikings. Unofficially Jay Cutler was dropped by his own center, Roberto Garza, when Garza stepped on Jay's foot.

And judging from this play from Sunday's game between the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings, at least one NFL officiating crew doesn't know, either.

We return to our regularly scheduled format, as we look through our notes from yesterday's win.
