Analysis:. Minnesota came out of its bye in week 7 as the only undefeated team in the NFL. Unfortunately the offense seemed to be a little out of sync as Sam Bradford was under pressure all day and coughed the ball up 3 times vs an aggressive Eagle Defensive Unit. The Vikings also had a special teams letdown that led to 98-yard kickoff return. Fortunately the Vikings defense still looked like the top unit in the NFL.  On Monday Night the Vikings take on the Chicago Bears in Chicago. The Bears do not have any true offensive threats that will challenge the Vikings defense and the Chicago defense cannot offer the same type pressure the Vikings saw against Philadelphia, and that will be a welcome sight for Sam Bradford. We expect the Vikings to get the win in primetime.
