The paths Minnesota Vikings and Las Vegas Raiders took to get to this point in the NFL season have not been an easy one. They meet Sunday, Dec. 10. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial and $20 off the first two months).

Both teams have had upheaval — backup quarterbacks now starting for each club, a coaching change for the Raiders — and this game will be quite telling where their seasons go from here.

More is on the line for the Vikings because at 6-6 they have a more realistic chance at a playoff spot given how the NFC standings line up.

Like the Raiders, they come off two losses and a bye, and the Vikings’ timing for the stretch run is especially fortuitous given wide receiver Justin Jefferson returns after missing the past seven games because of a hamstring injury.

But instead of catching passes from Kirk Cousins — out since tearing an Achilles tendon on Oct. 29 — Joshua Dobbs will be behind center. Coach Kevin O’Connell decided to stick with Dobbs, who threw four interceptions Nov. 27 against Chicago. Three of those passes were deflected, however, and Dobbs did win his first two starts before losing the next two by a combined three points.

The Raiders had their postseason hopes take a major hit with losses to Miami and Kansas City before the break, dropping Las Vegas’ record to 5-7.

When is Vikings-Raiders?

The Vikings and Raiders play at 3:05 p.m. (4:05 p.m. ET) on Sunday, Dec. 10.
