To cap off what has already been a wild Week 15 of NFL games, we’ve got a battle between old NFC North rivals as the Minnesota Vikings play host to the Chicago Bears on “Monday Night Football.”
Minnesota has an opportunity to make things more interesting in the divisional race after the Lions lost to the Bills on Sunday, and can pull even with Detroit in the win column by emerging victorious from this game. The Lions would still be ahead thanks to the tiebreaker, but the Vikes could change all that down the stretch of the season — including in what could potentially be a division title game in Week 18.
The Bears are looking more toward 2025, but they do have a chance to end Caleb Williams’ rookie season with a bang — and ruin some of their rivals’ seasons along the way. They’ve lost seven games in a row, but play each of Minnesota, Detroit and Green Bay over the season’s final four weeks. Therein lies opportunity.
Will the Vikings keep pace at the top of the conference, or will the Bears play spoiler? We’ll find out soon enough. Before we break down the matchup, here’s a look at how you can watch the game.

When the Bears have the ball
Caleb Williams surprisingly had one of the best games of his rookie season, when these two teams met a few weeks ago. He completed 32 of 47 passes for 340 yards and 2 touchdowns, he was sacked only twice and he did not throw an interception. He’s thrown five touchdowns against zero interceptions in the two games since then, but has largely struggled as a downfield passer during those games, and has taken a ton of sacks.
So, can he replicate the performance he had back in Week 12? That’s the operative…
