Streaking/Slumping for Nov. 29


Ben Finfer looks at who was streaking and slumping in Sunday's Bears-Vikings game

Brett Favre
Streaking

Brett Favre

Add another three touchdowns and 392 yards to his resurgent season. The future hall of famer has Prince and the rest of the Vikings fans partying like it's 1998.
Jay Cutler
Slumping

Jay Cutler

He threw two more interceptions, but the loss in Minnesota wasn't Cutler's fault. He was on his back so often that Ron Turner should have painted the Bears playbook on the Metrodome ceiling. It wouldn't have taken very long.
Hunter Hillenmeyer
Slumping

Bears' defense

This battered unit gave up 537 yards and 36 points to Minnesota. Basically it was the type of performance that would have allowed the Maine South offense to have a field day. So congratulations to the Vikings for winning the Class 9A state championship.
Lovie Smith
Slumping

Bears franchise

No hope, no prospects, no fun. That should be the team's slogan in the final five weeks of the season. Either that or "Are you still here?"
Brad Maynard
Streaking

Brad Maynard

It's bad if the punter is your franchise player, right?
Orlando Pace
Slumping

Orlando Pace

He was listed as questionable after limping off the field with a groin injury. That should have been his listing since Week 1. It's pretty evident that this is his "Willie Mays in a Mets uniform" year.

NFC North

The Vikings have a three-game lead on the Packers, who they already have defeated twice. This division race contains about as much drama as a Michael Bay movie.
Lance Briggs
Slumping

Health

Bears' injuries included Zack BowmanLance BriggsAlex BrownOrlando Pace, and Charles Tillman. Also among the wounded was Jay Cutler's ego.
Johnny Knox
Streaking

Rookie wide receivers

Percy Harvin had a touchdown, 101 yards receiving, and 45 yards rushing. Johnny Knoxhad a touchdown and a 77-yard kickoff return. Also, Knox lost a fumble and Harvin's team won by 26. So we'll call it even.
Steven Jackson
Streaking

The schedule

There's only one elixir for a team that has lost six of their past seven -- the St. Louis Rams. It should be the Bears' fifth win. It should also be a win for anyone who has Steven Jackson on their fantasy team.
