Chicago Bears

It’s Must-Win Time for the Vikings

It’s Must-Win Time for the Vikings

The 4-5 Minnesota Vikings take on the 6-3 Chicago Bears on Sunday in what now is must-win game for the Vikings if they want to maintain a credible path to the postseason.

The Vikings’ chance of making the playoffs has a significant swing depending on the outcome of the game on Sunday- the Bears even more so.

The Vikings have just a 13% or so chance to make the playoffs according to this playoff simulator and with a loss on Sunday that chance drops to just 5% or 1 in 20. With a win, however, there chances improve to 22%...

SB Nation Reacts Results: Vikings Fans’ Confidence Down (Again)

It’s time for us to take a look at this week’s SB Nation Reacts results for our Minnesota Vikings, so let’s take a look at what our readers had to say for this week.

Unfortunately, due to a bunch of real life stuff happening on my end, I didn’t end up putting in another question for this week’s survey, so the only question we had this week was our standard question about whether or not you think the Vikings are moving in the right direction. As you’d probably expect after a rough loss like the one the Vikings had against...

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Are You Still On The Bandwagon?

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Are You Still On The Bandwagon?

Another big game tomorrow. The team needs to get another win at home. I am expecting a solid game from JJ McCarthy with improved accuracy. It is going to be tough to contain Caleb Williams but the strength of victory may indicate that the Bears have not faced too tough of a schedule yet. They have beat the Cowboys, Raiders, Commandos, Saints, Bengals, and Giants. Their strength of schedule thus far is 26th. Regardless, they have done what they should have done and beat the the lesser teams.

I believe it will be a bounce back game where the team...

Minnesota Vikings

  • OLB Jonathan Greenard, Shoulder, DNP, OUT
