Preview Bears-Vikings on The 9-Yard Line

CHICAGO — It’s an NFC North week for the Bears for the second time of the 2022 season, and maybe it’s going better than the first time against a division opponent.

After losing to the Packers in Week 2, the Bears will play their second NFC North game on Sunday when they take on the Vikings at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

After a loss to the Giants last Sunday, the Bears are back in the season 2-2 as they seek their first league win of the 2022 season this weekend.

This edition of The 9-Yard Line will preview this competition as we hear from the Bears and Vikings ahead of their Week 5 match-up. See an update on cornerback Jaylon Johnson’s health, how the Bears will try to end their run-on-defense struggles and how Luke Getsy defended Justin Fields during his press conference.

We also take a look at all the things you need to know about rivalry, match odds and fantasy football in Bear Essentials.

WGN Radio’s Kevin Powell joins the show to share his thoughts on the Bears in four games this season. We’ll also look at the pre-game social media hype, a one-of-a-kind Mike Ditka auction and a special moment for Walter Payton that took place 38 years ago on Friday.
