Watch Minnesota Vikings Vs. Chicago Bears Stream Live: Start Time, Preview, Crucial Week 4 NFC North Showdown
The Minnesota Vikings sit at 2-1 and need a big win to prove that they actually can contend for a berth in the Super Bowl, as The Inquisitr reported. The Vikings have appeared in four Super Bowls, tied for 5th-most in NFL history, but none since 1976. And all four of those Super Bowl bids ended in defeat.
Now, even though the NFL season is only at the quarter-point, the Vikings face what is probably a must-win game if they want to avoid a second straight year of failing to even qualify for the playoffs, much less the Super Bowl. They’ll travel to Chicago to face their NFC North rivals, the Bears, in a game that will stream live from the Second City.

The Bears also sit at 2-1, making the late-afternoon game a must-win for Chicago as well. While either team could recover from a 2-2 start, the real problem is that the loser of the game drops to 0-2 in divisional play — and both teams have already lost to the Green Bay Packers, whose loss on Thursday night to the Philadelphia Eagles dropped them to 3-1, as CBS Sports reported.
Chicago’s third-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky — the team’s first-round pick, second overall, in 2017 out of North Carolina — is coming off his best game of the season last week, when he threw for three touchdowns and 231 yards, completing 25 of 31 attempts, with one interception against Washington, according to Pro Football Reference.
But the Vikings’ defense has allowed just 15.7 points per game so far this season, so Chicago will need Trubisky to be even better than one week ago.
In 116 games since 1961, the Vikings have had the better part of the rivalry, with 60 wins vs. 54 for the Bears. Two games have ended in ties.
