The Vikings ended up handily beating the Bears, 30-12, leaving Chicago with a disappointing 4-10 season.
Aikman did weigh in on the possibility that the Bears could trade some picks to get San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan to come to Chicago.
Troy Aikman weighs in on the possibility…
“There has been discussion about, ‘Do you give up some picks and see if you can maybe make a deal for a guy like Kyle Shanahan?’ I would be all in on that. Because he would develop a quarterback and is a hell of a head coach.” https://t.co/iEZ4agFIZk pic.twitter.com/ngs66LoR40

The three-time Super Bowl champion quarterback recently offered his assessment that University of Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders is a “franchise quarterback.”
“I love his game,” Aikman added. “What he has been able to do has been remarkable. My expectation is that he is going to have a hell of career” in the NFL.

Shedeur Sanders is the son of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, who is a former Dallas Cowboy teammate of Aikman in the late 1990s.
