It’s finally here Dalvin Cook Jersey , folks. Well, it’s not here here, yet, but itaway from kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium between the Chicago Bears and your Minnesota Vikings in the 2018 regular season finale. We know what’s at stake for the purple. . .win this game and get into the playoffs. Lose this game, and there’s about a 99.9% chance that your season is over.We don’t want that, do we?Here is everything you need to know about today’s game:Time: Sunday, 30 December 2018, 3:25 PM Central timeLocation: U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, MinnesotaTelevision coverage: KMSP-9 in the Twin Cities, FOX affiliates throughout the country http://www.thevikingslockerroom.com/authentic-pat-elflein-jersey , DirecTV Ch 717Radio coverage: Vikings Radio Network, Sirius Channel 113, XM Channel 231Line: Minnesota -6, Over/Under 40.5Prediction: Vikings 21, Bears 17Three keys1) Know where Khalil Mack is all the time - The Vikings need to assign two people to Khalil Mack from the minute he gets off the bus. In the locker room, on the sideline, on the field, in the restroom, wherever. He’s the one player on the Chicago defense that can single-handedly destroy the Vikings’ offensive game plan, and caused a lot of havoc the last time these two teams played. He’s going to make plays, but the Vikings have to do everything they can to limit his impact.2) Ratchet up the intensity - The Vikings definitely can’t come out in this one the way they did against Detroit. If they don’t get a first down until the four-minute mark of the second quarter in this one Womens Harrison Smith Jersey , they’ll be home for the playoffs. If the Vikings can get off to a fast start and get a lead early, the Bears might start sitting some of their key players knowing they can’t better their position in the NFC playoff picture.3) No big mistakes - In the first game between these two teams, Kirk Cousins made a couple of killer mistakes with an interception at the end of the first half and a pick-six that pretty much squelched any hope of winning the Vikings had. That can’t happen this afternoon. Minnesota’s defense is going to pressure Mitch Trubisky into mistakes in this one, but Cousins. . .and the rest of the offense. . .can’t match those mistakes.If this team can play a complete game this afternoon, they’re completely capable of walking out with a victory and getting a rematch with this same Bears team in Chicago next weekend.Know the Foe: Windy City GridironTwitter: Right hereFaceBook: www.facebook.com/TheDailyNorsemanTweets by DailyNorseman As usual, we will have a new Open Thread at the start of each quarter, so keep your eyes open for those. Other than that, everyone enjoy today’s big game, and hopefully we’ll all meet up back here again later to talk about the victory and look forward to next week’s game against the Bears.SKOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL VIKINGS!!!! If you’re looking for a positive sign that Minnesota Vikings’ wide receiver Stefon Diggs will take the field on Sunday when the purple host the Detroit Lions at U.S. Bank Stadium. . .well, this isn’t it.Courtney Cronin of ESPN is reporting that the Vikings will be promoting wide receiver Chad Beebe from the practice squad before Sunday’s game.Beebe, the son of former Buffalo Bills’ wide receiver Don Beebe Jaleel Johnson Jersey , signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent out of Northern Illinois. He had a pretty solid preseason, catching nine passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns in four preseason games. With the Vikings’ glut of talent at wide receiver, he was let go as part of the team’s final cuts, but was signed to the practice squad right away.The Vikings appear to be playing things cautiously with Diggs, who suffered a rib injury in last week’s loss to the New Orleans Saints. With the Vikings’ bye coming next week, if he were to sit this week he would have two weeks to get ready for the team’s Week 11 contest at Soldier Field against the Chicago Bears.The Vikings have not yet announced the corresponding roster move they would have to make in order to put Beebe on the 53-man roster. When they do, we’ll have an update to this story.
