EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings will begin a five-game December slate by visiting the Patriots at 3:25 p.m. (CT) Sunday in just the 13th meeting between the franchises.
The game is scheduled to air on FOX for a wide swath of the country, from Southern California, eastern Nevada and Montana's western border all the way to the Eastern Seaboard, except for the Nashville market where the Titans are hosting the Jets at 3:05 p.m. (CT).
The Vikings (6-4-1, 2-1-1 NFC North) defeated the Packers 24-17 on Sunday Night Football.
The Patriots (8-3) didn't reach cruising altitude against the Jets until the second half but emerged with a 27-13 victory last week.
Minnesota would be the **No. 5 seed** and earn the first of two Wild Card berths in the NFC Playoffs if the postseason began this week.
The Vikings are 2-2-1 on the road in 2018, and the Patriots are 5-0 at home this season.
