Who plays on Monday Night Football tonight? Vikings-Bears free live stream
The Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears face off on Monday, Nov. 27. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial), SlingTV (half off first month) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).
The Vikings made a habit last season of going down to the wire, setting an NFL record in the process by winning all 11 contests that were decided by eight points or fewer.
Those close games, predictably, haven’t broken their way in 2023 nearly as often.
They’ll find no sympathy from the Chicago Bears.
The Bears (3-8) blew a 12-point lead with about three minutes left to the NFC North-leading Lions to fall to 1-4 in one-score games. They play at Minnesota on Monday night.
That applies to the Vikings (6-5) as well, on the heels of their 21-20 defeat at Denver. They led for the majority of the game despite three turnovers and were still ahead by five points until the Broncos scored a touchdown with 2:14 remaining. They are 5-5 this season in games decided by one score.
Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell has had one-score decisions in 22 of 29 games on the job, including the playoffs. He has steered the club out of a September skid — caused primarily by those pesky turnovers costing them dearly in close games — to gain control of a wild card spot. He has kept the offense running with superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson out for the last six games with a hamstring injury and Dobbs taking over three weeks ago after a season-ending Achilles tendon tear for Kirk Cousins.

The Vikings and Bears meet at 7:15 p.m. (8:15 p.m. ET) on Monday, Nov. 27.
