    Originally signed by the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent, Chicago Bears running back Kahlil Bell still has hard feelings toward the team that cut him in August 2009.

    "Personally, I really don't like Minnesota," Bell said Monday. "I was there for a short stint. It won't take much for me to get motivated for this game."

    Bell spent more than three months with the Vikings before eventually landing on the Bears practice squad in September 2009. Later that season the running back was promoted to the active roster -- where he's been ever since. With Matt Forte and Marion Barber out Christmas night due to injuries, Bell ran for a career-high 121 yards on 23 carries in the 35-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

    The Bears and Vikings square off on New Year's Day to wrap up the season.

    "Nobody likes to sit there and say they feel good about the team that let them go," Bell said. "They obviously felt I wasn't adequate enough to be a part of their organization, which is in my mind a blessing because I love it here in Chicago and I love being with the Bears. At the same time, hopefully I can make some plays and show them otherwise."
