There's no hibernating in football..

Today's defensive domination of the Minnesota Vikings turned 'da Bears' into NFC North Champions for the second year in a row.
Despite 'Sexy' Rexy's total implosion, Lovie Smith's defense taught the Viks to respect Soldier Field and all the die-hard pigskin fans of the Windy City.

There are plenty of questions of whether to pull Grossman out & put in Griese but let's not forget who got us to 10-2. No doubt, the D-line is the best in the NFL, but if you look at Rex's numbers throughout the season, he's only struggled as of the last few games and this is not a team that leaves a man behind.

Unless of course, you're Kyle Orton.
Or the rest of the NFC North.
