Week 12’s final NFL game concludes a week packed full of ten divisional matchups with an NFC North battle. Who plays on Monday Night Football tonight? The Chicago Bears travel to U.S. Bank Stadium to take on the Minnesota Vikings.
Both NFC North foes fell in heartbreaking fashion a week ago. The Bears held a 26-14 lead with 4:15 left in the fourth quarter against the Lions in Week 11, but Detroit would end up coming back to win, 31-26. Meanwhile, the Vikings saw their five-game winning streak vanish against an equally hot Denver Broncos squad. Can the Vikings keep their postseason push going?
When and where can you watch Monday Night Football tonight? Here’s the Monday Night Football channel, start time, and live stream options for the divisional tilt between the Bears and Vikings.

The Vikings had a disastrous start to the 2023 season. After a 13-4 finish and playoff berth, Minnesota got off to an awful 1-4 start to the season. However, the team rallied and won five games to revive its playoff aspirations.
They host a Bears team that hopes to steal a couple of late wins with QB Justin Fields back under center. Chicago also sees RB Khalil Herbert back for the second week and hoping to make more of an impact.

Even with their third starting QB of the season leading the offense, the Vikings continue to chug along. They have 22 touchdown passes this season, tied for the most in the NFL. Also, while QB Joshua Dobbs excels against the rush, the Bears have pressured opposing QBs on 17.4% of passing plays since 2022, the worst rate in the NFL. Chicago is also allowing 26 points per game; Minnesota should get a win with ease.
