The Bears beat the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night 40-14 on a cold, snowy, frozen evening at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. As a result, they are the champions of the NFC North division and currently sit as the second overall seed in the NFC behind Atlanta.
Part of the story was Devin Hester who returned a punt for a TD in the third quarter to establish the record for individual kickoff and punt return TDs in a career. This followed a 79-yard kickoff return the last time he touched the ball. Add a TD catch as a receiver and it was a pretty good night for No. 23.
The other part of the story, besides the weather and the venue, was the surprising start of Brett Favre. That didn't last long, however, as Favre went out with a head injury as Bears DE Corey Wootton slammed him to the rock-hard turf in the second quarter.
Favre would not return and so we may have seen the last of the certain Hall of Fame QB.
Meanwhile, the real story to Bears' fans doesn't involve Favre or the weather or anything other than winning the division. This win is especially sweet for the following 10 men.
