In one of the greatest turnarounds of the 1997 NFL season, Stubblefield has turned himself into the Dana Stubblefield of 1995.
That hard work paid of as he had 15 sacks - second in the NFL to John Randle of the Minnesota Vikings- and was a staunch defender against the run.
All of this just a year after being their leading candidate for ''Bust of the Year'' when he managed just one sack and 39 tackles, a startling performance given the fact that he had 10.5 sacks in his rookie season, when he was named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award winner.

Minnesota had won just five of the last nine games, none of them by more than a touchdown, and the Vikings' 31-28 decision at Soldier Field on Sept. 27 was their smallest victory margin of the season.

Although Chicago has struggled in recent years and the Vikings have been a perennial playoff team (1995 is the only year they have failed to qualify under Green), the series has been remarkably even.
