OFFENSE
Souhan's grade: D
Not much good here, as wide receiver Greg Jennings drops a touchdown pass and Cordarrelle Patterson causes an interception, but quarterback Teddy Bridgewater managed the game well.
DEFENSE
Souhan's grade: B
Hard to tell how invested Bears were, but the defense did its job and gave us one Robot Dance, from Corey Wootton.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Souhan's grade: B
Remember when Patterson broke big returns? This year it's again punt returned Marcus Sherels making big plays.
COACHING
Souhan's grade: B
Young players continue to play big roles. Finishing 7-9 without much from Adrian Peterson, Patterson and Kyle Rudolph not bad.
