The Chicago Bears will clash with their NFC North rivals, the Minnesota Vikings, this Sunday afternoon as they aim for their third consecutive victory. The game is set to kick off at 1 p.m. ET (noon CT) and will be broadcast on FOX, with options for streaming available.
This matchup features young quarterback Caleb Williams, who has led the Bears to thrilling victories, including a comeback win against the New York Giants last week. In that game, the Bears rallied from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter, ultimately securing a 24-20 victory with a 17-yard touchdown run from Williams. This followed a dramatic last-minute win over the Cincinnati Bengals just a week prior, where the Bears triumphed 47-42.
On the other side, the Vikings have experienced a rough patch, losing three of their last four games, which has left them with a 4-5 record for the season. Their most recent victory was a surprising 27-24 win against the Detroit Lions, but they fell short last week against the Baltimore Ravens, losing 27-19. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who had a standout performance in the win over the Lions, struggled against the Ravens, completing just 20 of 42 passes for 248 yards, along with one touchdown and two interceptions.
