The Minnesota Vikings will face the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday, 20 September, in an NFC North rivalry game scheduled for 1pm ET. Yahoo Sports listed FOX as the broadcaster and Fubo as the streaming service, subject to regional restrictions and changes to availability.

The Vikings’ passing game was led by Justin Jefferson, who recorded eight receptions for 92 yards and two touchdowns against Green Bay. Minnesota’s defence also produced four sacks.
