CHICAGO — The Chicago Bears will look to get back into the win column today when the Minnesota Vikings come to town for a battle of NFC North foes. Sunday’s kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Eastern on FOX.
Several streaming services will broadcast the Nov. 24 game live and you can watch on Fubo (free trial and $30 off your first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and Sling (promotional offers).
The Bears (6-4) are on a four-game losing skid right now, and are last in the NFC North. With two matchups against the Vikings and Detroit Lions, a trip to San Francisco to face the 49ers and games against the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks left on the schedule there aren’t any guaranteed wins on the schedule.
The Vikings (8-2), meanwhile, look like they will cruise to the playoffs in a year that started with injuries and left many chalking this year up as a lost one before any games were played. Then the Vikings came out and won five straight games to open the season and Sam Darnold has looked like a potential long-term solution for Minnesota at quarterback.
