The Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears will meet this afternoon for their NFL Week 2 face off.

The second week of regular season matches kicked off on Thursday with a low scoring game between the New York Jets and the New England Patriots. Now two NFC North teams will go head to head at Soldier Field in Chicago.

During preseason, the Vikings lost three of their matchups to the Houston Texans, the Buffalo Bills, and the San Francisco 49ers before triumphing over the Tennessee Titans in Week 4. Last week the Vikings saw defeat at the hands of the Detroit Lions during the first round of the regular season.

For their part, the Bears only lost half of their preseason games. Despite falling to the Carolina Panthers and the Cleveland Browns, Chicago managed to pull out victories against the San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders. The Bears also managed to take down the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday during Week 1 of the regular season.

The Vikings quarterback, Texas native Christian Ponder, will need to up his game heading into Sunday's match. With less than a one percent lead over Chicago's Jay Cutler when it comes to completions, Ponder has thrown more interceptions and fewer touchdowns than the Bear's quarterback this season.

Fans can live stream the 1 p.m. game at NFL Games or through NFL Live.
