Tonight's Vikings vs. Bears live stream features a Minnesota team trying to separate itself for the rest of the "6-7 Pack" in the NFC playoff picture while division rival Chicago tries to recover from last Sunday night's loss. Cousins takes on Fields in this NFL live stream.

The Vikings (6-7) come into this game after narrowly escaping their Thursday night matchup with the Steelers in Week 14 with a 36-28 win. Minnesota led 29-0 late in the third quarter before Pittsburgh began to fight back, and now after a 10-day break, the Vikings will look to use this mini-bye week as a reset and prepare for a playoff run.

Minnesota is one of five NFC teams that are (6-7) heading into Week 15. They have only made the playoffs once in the Kirk Cousins era and now have a tiebreaker with Philly and Atlanta, also 6-7 teams.

Cousins has put together another solid season with the Vikings. In his fourth year with the team, he has the league's sixth-best passer rating of 102.3 and is one of only two quarterbacks with 27 or more touchdown passes and five or fewer interceptions. The other is Aaron Rodgers.

The Bears (4-9) have yet to be eliminated from the playoffs, but it seems certain that is their fate. Chicago has made the playoffs only twice in the past decade, both times under head coach Matt Nagy. Unfortunately, both times they were eliminated in the wild card round.

Justin Fields and the Bears offense are coming off their best game of the season despite the loss. Chicago scored 30 points for the first time this season in last week's 45-30 loss at Green Bay. Fields threw for 224 yards and two touchdowns, but also had two interceptions. One of the picks was returned 55 yards for a touchdown.

The Vikings were 7-point road favorites against the Bears. The over/under is 47.
