The first divisional game for the Minnesota Vikings comes at one of the more pivotal moments for the future of their season. The Vikings go to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears at 12 PM CST.
Justin Fields has been playing at a level that Bears fans are not accustomed to seeing from their quarterback in the past two games. Fields is the first quarterback since Mitchell Trubisky in 2018 to have four touchdowns and a passer rating of at least 125 in a span of two games.
Kirk Cousins and company are coming in amidst all of the trade rumors and tanking allegations with the second-best passing offense and top-ten offense in terms of yards. With both defenses being inconsistent throughout the season, there is no telling what kind of game fans will be in for on Sunday.
