The Minnesota Vikings will complete their first home-and-home series of the 2025 season with one of their NFC North division rivals when they host the Chicago Bears at U.S. Bank Stadium in Week 11 NFL action.
These two teams met to start the season at Soldier Field on Monday Night Football. The Bears took a 17-6 lead into the fourth quarter of play, but the Vikings stormed back behind three fourth-quarter touchdowns, all coming courtesy of J.J. McCarthy. He had two touchdown passes what proved to be the game-winning score with a rushing touchdown as the Vikings pulled off a 27-24 comeback win. The performance. . .or, at least, the fourth quarter of it. . .was enough to vault McCarthy to NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors in his first NFL start.
These two teams have gone in markedly different directions since then, however. The Bears come into this one with a record of 6-3 behind new head coach Ben Johnson and second-year quarterback Caleb Williams. The Vikings, on the other hand, come into this one with a 4-5 mark, having lost a couple of winnable games against tough opponents in Philadelphia and Baltimore. The Vikings have just one home victory this season, their blowout win over Cincinnati in Week 3, and that’s a trend that Kevin O’Connell and company are going to want to change in this one.
Kickoff for this one is slated for noon Central time, and the game will be carried on the FOX family of networks. All of our stories about this one will be placed in this stream, so keep checking back for the latest!
