With the Minnesota Vikings locked into the number six seed and the Chicago Bears eliminated from playoff contention, the two teams faced off in a mathematically worthless game at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Vikings won 21-14 at home against the Chicago Bears Sunday. Minnesota went out to a 14-0 lead and led 14-7 at halftime. The Vikings got a 56-yard interception return touchdown from Harrison Smith in the 2nd half that helped secure the win.
The Vikings host the Chicago Bears Sunday at noon, pregame on WJON at 11am. Minnesota is 6-6 while Chicago is 8-4. The Vikings are 1 game back of Seattle and 2 games back of Chicago for the NFC Wildcard spots.
Viking receiver Percy Harvin is out for the season after being placed on injured reserve with a severely sprained ankle. It was reported earlier this week that Harvin has a torn ligament in his left ankle. Harvin hurt the ankle when the Vikings lost at Seattle on November 4.
The Vikings play at Chicago Sunday at noon, pregame on WJON at 11am. The Vikings are 6-4 while Chicago is 7-3. Minnesota will face the Bears without starting quarterback Jay Cutler. Cutler told ESPN radio Tuesday that he will return this season but he doesn't know whether he'll return this Sunday against Minnesota.
