The Chicago Bears are looking to extend their winning streak to three games this weekend while also getting revenge as they fight for first place in the NFC North. Currently, Chicago is tied with the Detroit Lions in the NFC North, and if they can get a win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, they'll have a chance to take sole possession.

As the Vikings sit at 4-5, last in the NFC North, their star receiver wants to recapture his youthful energy while their 22-year-old quarterback looks to scrub some blemishes out of his game.

Strength of victory — the combined winning percentage of all the teams a team has beaten — might not mean much on its own, but it gives a sense of how a team like the Vikings, despite its 4-5 record, has an ability to take down teams with good records.

Smith, in his 14th Vikings season, will join the likes of Jim Marshall, Mick Tingelhoff and Carl Eller, among others, on Sunday against the Bears.

Justin Jefferson sent a warning to the NFL as he looks to return to his elite form as the Vikings progress through the 2025 season.

The Chicago Bears (6-3) and the Minnesota Vikings (4-5) faceoff this Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Plenty on the line in this clash of NFC North rivals. The result will go a long way towards deciding if the Bears are contenders for a playoff spot and if the Vikings can get into the race in a competitive NFC North.
