The Chicago Bears will host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 6, where Chicago is looking to stack back-to-back wins coming off a mini-bye week.
The Bears and Vikings will face off for the first time this season, where Chicago is looking for revenge after Minnesota swept them last season. Both teams sit at 1-4, but they’re trending in opposite directions. The Bears are coming off an encouraging win where Justin Fields has turned a corner. Meanwhile, the Vikings are coming off another one-score loss where they lost Justin Jefferson to a hamstring injury.
