Bears vs Lions Notes
o) The Bears beat the Lions earlier this year in a low scoring affair 13-7 on Monday Night Football. Charles Tillman shut down Calvin Johnson and Jay Cutler survived a vicious hit.
o) The Bears need to win to stay alive in the playoffs. But they need help. The Minnesota Vikings need to lose to the Packers, who themselves are trying to secure the #2 seed, in order to make the playoffs.
o) A bit of history: The Bears were in this position in 2008 sitting at 9-6, needing a win to get into the playoffs. If they win and the Vikings lost they would win the division and have the 3rd seed, if they won and the Vikings won, Buccaneers lost, Cowboys lost the Bears would get in as the #6 seed. The Vikings ended up winning, the Bucs ended up losing, the Cowboys ended up losing, but they Bears simply couldnt not take care of their own business as Houston had their way with the Bears defense and the Bears ended up in a 31-24 defeat that ended their playoff hopes. The Bears were without starting free safety Mike Brown for the game as he had pulled his hamstring the week before.
The Bears are in a similar situation in 2012 needing a win to get into the playoffs. This time all they need to do is win and have the Vikings lose. The Bears will be without safety Chris Conte and Linebacker Brian Urlacher. The offense is pitiful, but this teams defense is better than the 08 team. There are alot of similarities going into this game compared to the 08 game, so it will be interesting to see what unfolds here. Will history repeat?
