Vikings Seek Fourth Straight Win Against Struggling Bears

Minnesota aims to close the gap in the NFC North while Chicago looks to snap a four-game losing streak.

  • The Minnesota Vikings (8-2) are riding a three-game winning streak and hope to gain ground on NFC North leaders Detroit Lions (9-1).
  • Chicago Bears (4-6) are trying to end a four-game skid, with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams showing improvement under new offensive coordinator Thomas Brown.
  • Minnesota quarterback Sam Darnold is having a career-best season, with 19 touchdown passes, a 100.0 passer rating, and strong performances supported by wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
  • The Vikings' top-ranked run defense will be tested by Williams' mobility, after he rushed for a career-high 70 yards last week.
  • Injuries could impact both teams, with Bears running back D’Andre Swift and key offensive linemen uncertain to play, while the Vikings may miss tight end Josh Oliver.
