Motivation or Rest Alert
The Vikings are currently the No. 3 seed in the NFC, which is their floor. They cannot reach the No. 1 seed but could still be the No. 2 seed with a win and 49ers loss. We could see them pull starters at some point during the game if scoreboard watching or building out a lead, but we should be approaching things as if they will be pushing to win the game.
The Bears have been eliminated from the postseason and still could obtain the No. 1 Draft Pick in 2023 with a loss and a Texans win. They are starting Nathan Peterman at quarterback.
