The Minnesota Vikings game against the Cincinnati Bengals in week 15 now has an official date and time. The game will take place on Saturday, December 16th and will kick off at 12 p.m. CT and air on the NFL Network.

Last season, the Vikings also played on Saturday afternoon at 12 p.m. CT on the NFL Network and they orchestrated the largest comeback in the history of the National Football League against the Indianapolis Colts with a 39-36 win in overtime.
