(CBS) We know the Bears are bad. Their 1-6 record and the eye test tell us that.
Given that the Bears were a 6-10 team in 2015 and with what’s transpired this season, how they ended up with four primetime games in the first eight weeks of the NFL season is a mystery to many.
Nonetheless, the Bears will play that fourth primetime game of the season Monday night, when they host the Vikings (5-1) at Soldier Field. And when they do, the Bears will have a chance to make some ignominious history — they can become the first team in NFL history to lose four primetime games in their first eight games of the season, per ESPN Stats & Info.
The Bears lost a Monday night game to the Eagles in Week 2, a Sunday night game to the Cowboys in Week 3 and a Thursday night game to the Packers in Week 7. And the outlook against the Vikings isn’t good, as the Bears are 4.5-point underdogs.
For those wondering, the Bears don’t have any primetime games left after this matchup against the Vikings. Their last eight games of the season are noon kickoffs on Sundays.
