EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings will visit the Bears at 7:20 p.m. (CT) Sunday in the first of two head-to-head contests in 2018.
The game is scheduled to air nationally on NBC's Sunday Night Football after being flexed into the prime-time slot because of its intrigue and significance.
The Vikings (5-3-1, 1-0-1 NFC North) trail the Bears (6-3, 1-1) by half a game in the standings with seven left to play. Minnesota and Chicago have four remaining division games apiece, including this one and the season finale at U.S. Bank Stadium that is scheduled for Dec. 30.
The Bears have won three in a row and are 4-1 in home games this season. The Vikings have won four of their past five games and are 2-1-1 on the road in 2018.
