Week fifteen of the 2021 NFL schedule should be ending with this evening's game but due to this years’ first group of games being moved due to mass Covid outbreaks around the NFL two more games will take place tomorrow evening at the same time. This evening's MNF showdown features two NFC North rivals when the Minnesota Vikings travel to Illinois to take on the Chicago Bears.
The Vikings enter this week as the second-place team in the NFC North and the current ninth-place team in the NFC’s playoff standings. Minnesota is coming into tonight's game after a bye week.
