Zimmer talked about the Chicago Bears as a team, what it is about this rivalry that makes each game such a battle, why it is so difficult to play at Soldier Field, if the game being a night game changes anything for the team, if it is harder to fluster a mobile quarterback like Justin Fields, if he studied a lot of Fields in the draft process, if playing Lamar Jackson earlier in the year will help the team stop Fields, how special teams coordinator Ryan Ficken turned around the group this season, and why he thinks Kirk Cousins is being sacked less this season.

Kickoff Monday night on KSTP is set for 7:20 p.m.
