Monday Night massacre?
The Minnesota Vikings may be back in the playoff picture, but one of the toughest games remaining on their schedule will be played tonight, on Monday Night Football on ESPN, as the Vikings face off with division rival, the Chicago Bears. It’s no secret that the Vikings have played poorly against their NFC North competitors this season, but for the 7-6 Vikings to stay on track for a playoff spot, they must defeat the Bears at the Metrodome.
Fortunately, this is not the Bears team that the Vikings faced earlier this season. QB Kyle Orton will be at the helm, facing off against a decent Vikings defense. And with the Vikings finally having found a passable passing game and discovering their real identity this season as a wham-bam running team, the faceoff should not be a repeat of their last disappointing showing against the Bears early this season at Soldier field.
Tonight’s one of the biggest nights of the regular season for the Vikings: time to put away the skinceuticals and put on their game faces! Time to make sure it’s the Bears who will be massacred on Monday Niight, and not the other way around.
