Bears Beat Vikings 19-17, Move Into First Place & Eye Playoff Push | Bleacher Nation Bears

The Bears are officially in first place after a gritty 19-17 win over the Vikings in Minnesota, and the crew is ready to celebrate on the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast, presented by Obvious Shirts.Hosts Patrick Flowers, Matt Rooney, and Luis Medina open with their reactions to waking up to a first-place Bears team and share their biggest takeaways from the Week 11 victory. They hand out game balls and highlight the defensive effort that sealed the win, keeping Chicago’s hot streak rolling into the second half of the season.Then it’s on to the playoff picture, where The Athletic’s simulator now gives the Bears a 49% chance to make the postseason and a 15% shot to win the NFC North. The guys debate how many wins it’ll take to finish the job and whether Chicago’s formula is sustainable down the stretch.Finally, they preview Steelers week, asking if Aaron Rodgers is ducking the Bears with his lingering wrist injury and trying to make sense of a Pittsburgh team that always finds ways to win under Mike Tomlin — even without elite talent at quarterback. Follow us:Twitter: @PatrickKFlowers, @mrooney23, @lcm1986 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
