Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings Live Stream, Preview: Fighting for NFC North
Earlier in the season, the Minnesota Vikings were rolling, winning consecutive games to stay undefeated for quite some time, allowing many experts to consider them as one of the best in the league this season. However, after losing three of their last four matches, they're looking like they're quite beatable.
Their opponent tomorrow, the Chicago Bears, are currently at 5-8 and are in danger of missing the postseason after losing two consecutive games. They'll meet in order to figure out where each team stands as the season draws to a close.

The loss to the Redskins last week was painful for the Bears who are in dire need of winning every game they have remaining. It's up to kicker Robbie Gould to finally capitalize on his opportunities after missing a game-tying field goal the last time. But with receiver Alshon Jeffery's status still up in the air, there will be a huge hole the team needs to fill to at least have a fighting chance against the Vikings.
The Vikings, on the other hand, have one of the best defenses in the league, but with four players still recovering from separate injuries, it hasn't really been easy for them the past couple of games. All four, namely Anthony Barr, Linval Joseph, Andrew Sendejo, and Harrison Smith haven't been officially listed as eligible to play tomorrow.
For Minnesota to secure tomorrow's victory, they need the best possible performance from running back Adrian Peterson. After all, he currently leads the entire NFL in rushing yards with 1,251. The Vikings expect that he'll always be the focal point of their offense. On the other hand, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is expected to carry his team in this one once again.
