Windy City Gridiron
The Chicago Bears have had some big games this season, but none bigger than this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. With consecutive comeback wins, there’s some national buzz around the Bears, and a win in Minneapolis will go a long way towards keeping that going. Chicago has won six of their last seven, but they have yet to win a division game, having lost to the Lions in Week 2 and to the Vikings in the season opener.
A win will keep the (6-3) Bears in the NFC playoff mix, keep them ahead of the (5-3-1) Green Bay Packers, and it’ll put some pressure on the (6-3) Detroit Lions to maintain their slim NFC North lead. The (4-5) Vikings are fighting to get back to .500 and send a message to the division that they intend to be a factor.
Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday, November 9, at 12:00 p.m. (CT) from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The weather will not be a factor unless you’re attending the game and planning to tailgate, because U.S. Bank Stadium is a dome.
The game will be on FOX, with their number one team of Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady on the call. If you live in the red of this 506sports.com map, then you’ll get to see the game.
ESPN Chicago (1000 AM, 100.3 FM HD2) with Jeff Joniak, Tom Thayer, and Jason McKie on the call, and LATINO MIX 93.5 FM (Spanish) with Omar Ramos.
The Bears game can also be heard on SiriusXM.
