This game was originally supposed to take place on Sunday Night Football but was “flexed” out for a more competitive matchup with playoff implications when the Chargers began to struggle.
The Vikings are sitting at 9-4 and a playoff spot on the NFC side is well within reach for them. The best the Chargers can do at this point is to play spoiler.
The all-time series between these teams is tied 6-6. The Vikings won the most recent meeting in September 2015 by a score of 31-14. In that game, Keenan Allen caught 12 passes for 133 yards and two touchdowns.
