Monday Night Football is a double-header tonight, and one of the match-ups is a must-see NFC North face-off between the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings. We've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch Bears vs. Vikings live streams.
If this seems like a familiar match-up, it's because the Bears and Vikings played each other just last month. The two NFC North titans faced off in a tight game that ultimately went into overtime, ending in a 30-27 win for the Vikings. The Vikings are ranked second in the NFC North with an 11-2 record, trailing right behind the Lions, and have already secured a playoff spot. With a 4-9 record so far this season, the Bears are officially out of the playoff running, but if last month's game was any indication, tonight could still be a close call.
