With the Green Bay Packers losing on Thursday Night Football to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Minnesota Vikings can catch up some ground on the NFC North by getting a big win over the Chicago Bears, a division opponent.
The Bears will be no pushover in this Week 4 meeting. They have an incredibly strong defense partnered with an offense that can keep opposing teams guessing. Minnesota will need to play at the top of their game on the road if they want to walk out of Chicago with a win.
That means being as close to full strength as possible would be a great benefit to the purple and gold.
