Week 9 concludes with a must-see matchup as the Minnesota Vikings host the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football!
The Vikings suffered their first loss of the season last week, losing a 19-15 contest to division rival Detroit Lions. This sounds silly to say, but almost every game is a must-win for the four NFC North teams. Minnesota is 6-1, the Chicago Bears are 7-2 after their Sunday Night Football win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Lions are 6-2, and the Green Bay Packers are 6-3.
The Vikings QB1, Kyler Murray, will miss tonight’s game with a hamstring strain, so Carson Wentz gets the nod for Minnesota.
Buffalo enters tonight’s matchup on a three-game winning streak, defeating the Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders, and Baltimore Ravens to improve to 6-1 on the year. Can Josh Allen and company make it four in a row? We’re about to find out.
From start time to channel to complete streaming info, here’s how to watch Monday Night Football live online.
