The Vikings’ depth chart will be put to the test on Monday Night Football.

Sure, the Chicago Bears aren’t exactly world beaters at this stage, but games get funky between these two teams. Seeing the score close to even par as the 4th quarter arrives won’t be at all surprising, especially if Caleb Williams happens to be as elusive as he was back in the Week 12 game at Soldier Field.

At the risk of leaning too far into a cliché, the Vikings will need a full-team effort to push their win total up to twelve. Getting a strong day on the ground, for instance, would help to deter Chicago from putting so much emphasis on Mr. Jefferson. Defensively, can Jalen Redmond keep generating havoc as the corners show themselves capable of limiting the production from D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen? Oh, and seeing Will Reichard drilling field goals again would be a welcome development.

The game takes place tomorrow night, but consider the roster hierarchy as you await the game.
