Vikings at Lions, 12 p.m. Sunday on FOX 9
It’s been an up-and-down season for the Vikings. They got off to a horrid 1-5 start, fought their way back to 6-6 by going 5-1 out of the bye. They gave themselves a chance to be in the playoffs with their last four games.
They controlled their own destiny, until they didn’t. Losses at Tampa Bay and to the Bears put their backs against the wall. They were eliminated from the playoffs after Friday’s loss to the Saints.
Packers at Bears, 3:25 p.m. Sunday on FOX 9
The Packers and Bears were flexed to a late afternoon kickoff with a playoff berth at stake for Chicago. The Bears and Packers will play at the same time as the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams -- a game that could also decide whether or not the Bears are playoff-bound.
