The Minnesota Vikings head to Chicago to play the Bears in week 8 of the NFL season, but what do they need to do in order to win on Monday Night Football?

Losing during week 7 of the NFL season isn’t fun, but the Minnesota Vikings season is still looking great. Sitting at 5-1 on top of the NFC North for now, there is no reason for the team start panicking.

However, the Vikings will face another unique challenge on Monday Night Football’s October 31, 2016 broadcast. They will travel to Chicago to take on a Bears team that is getting their star quarterback returning from injury and has been finding unique ways to pressure the quarterback.

The Vikings will need to figure out some of their issues, particularly a struggling offense with an injury depleted offensive line. But with a great coaching staff and willing players, there is hope that can turn around.

But what will the Minnesota Vikings need to do to beat the Chicago Bears on primetime television? Here are the 5 keys to victory, starting with some containment on defense.
