Overview

  • Kickoff is Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium (noon CT) on FOX with Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady and Erin Andrews on the call.
  • FanDuel lists Minnesota at -2.5 with a total of 45.5, reflecting a narrow edge for the 4-5 Vikings over the 6-3 Bears.
  • Chicago arrives on a surge under first-year coach Ben Johnson, ranking top 10 on offense with a league-leading big-play rate and sharply reduced sacks for Caleb Williams.
  • Defensive coordinator Brian Flores praised Williams’ growth and late-game poise, while Johnson highlighted Minnesota’s varied, disguise-heavy fronts as a key tactical test.
  • Kevin O’Connell said pass rusher Jonathan Greenard is questionable with a shoulder injury and center Ryan Kelly’s IR practice window is open, as Minnesota seeks to rebound after a Week 10 loss and protect its playoff hopes following a Week 1 win over Chicago.
