The final Monday Night Football doubleheader of the season is set to conclude Week 15, featuring two exciting matchups that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.
Game 1: Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears
The action kicks off with the Minnesota Vikings hosting the Chicago Bears in an NFC North clash. The Vikings have secured a spot in the playoffs, but they are still chasing the division-leading Detroit Lions. With the Lions facing a series of injuries, the Vikings have a chance to overtake them and secure a home game in the first playoff round, provided they win their remaining games. Unfortunately for the Bears, their playoff hopes have already been extinguished.
Game 2: Las Vegas Raiders vs. Atlanta Falcons
Later in the evening, the Las Vegas Raiders will host the Atlanta Falcons. Both teams are out of the playoff race, with the Raiders also vying with the New York Giants for the top draft pick. A loss on Monday could help the Raiders regain the No. 1 overall draft spot.
The Atlanta Falcons, on the other hand, are determined to break their four-game losing streak. Currently sitting at 6-7, they trail the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South. A win on Monday would significantly boost their playoff chances, marking their first potential postseason appearance since 2017. However, they need a much-improved performance from Kirk Cousins, who has struggled with interceptions during their losing streak.
