The Vikings seek to rebound from last Sunday night’s disappointing loss in Denver with a Monday night matchup against the division-rival Bears, who gave the Purple a tough battle six weeks ago in Chicago.
Jeff Diamond’s Vikings-Bears Prediction
The Vikings prevailed 19-13 but needed a scoop-and-score from Jordan Hicks and a late interception by Byron Murphy on a bad first down deep throw from backup QB Tyson Bagent to win on a day when the Bears’ defense held Minnesota to 220 total yards and three scoring drives on offense.
Since that Week 6 game, the two teams have gone in opposite directions, with the Vikings winning four of five games to move into playoff contention at 6-5 while the Bears have gone 2-3 and now are 3-8 on the season.
