It will be business as usual for the Minnesota Vikings (7-9) as they look to close out their disappointing season with a divisional showdown with the Chicago Bears (6-10).
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer didn’t shy away from the fact that the Vikings would be approaching this game like any other regular season game. So quarterback Kirk Cousins, who was out in Week 17 due to COVID, will be getting the start on Sunday.
The Bears, on the other hand, are expected to roll out Andy Dalton as their starting quarterback with Justin Fields being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
They have quietly put together back-to-back wins over the New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks since snapping their three-game losing streak, including a 17-9 loss at home to the Vikings.
