Game Preview: Vikings at Bears

The Minnesota Vikings (5-1) travel for the second straight week to play the Chicago Bears (1-6) in Week 8. Minnesota is searching for its second win on Monday Night Footballthis season, a feat it hasn’t accomplished since 1999. The Vikings lost 21-10 in Week 7 at Philadelphia, their first regular-season loss since Dec. 10, 2015, at Arizona. Minnesota is powered by a defense that is tied for first in the NFL in points allowed, giving up 14.0 points per game, and an offensive unit that hadn't committed a turnover until last week, helping the team lead the NFL with a plus-11 turnover margin.
