IMPORTANT:5 things to watch in the Chicago Bears-Minnesota Vikings game — plus our Week 12 predictions..

The Chicago Bears face the Minnesota Vikings for the second time this season Monday night at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The Vikings won the first meeting 19-13 after Bears quarterback Justin Fields was knocked out of the game with a dislocated thumb. Now Fields is back to make his second start since the injury, and the Vikings (6-5) are trying to make a playoff push without starting quarterback Kirk Cousins.

Dobbs rightfully captured national interest as he jumped in during an injury crisis to help the Vikings win two of their last three games despite spending little time with the team.

After starting eight games for the Arizona Cardinals earlier this season, Dobbs joined the Vikings via trade Oct. 31 as they looked to fill the void left when Cousins went down with an Achilles injury.

Dobbs’ story, which includes spending time with five teams over the last calendar year and three this season, is impressive to Bears coaches and players.

A lot of appreciation, a lot of respect for a guy that’s been on a journey like that,” defensive end Montez Sweat said. “I’ve got a lot of respect for it because I got traded in the middle of the year. I understand how that feels to go from team to team to team.”
