What happened: Minnesota is being pegged as a team to watch heading into the NFL trade deadline, according to Bleacher Nation, which frames the Vikings as a Bears rival. James Palmer reports that adding a quarterback is "on the table" for Minnesota.

Why it matters: The Vikings lost 15-19 at Detroit on Nov. 1, and a quarterback move would change who runs their offense down the stretch. Chicago won 34-17 at Seattle on Nov. 2, so a Minnesota upgrade would land inside the Bears' division.

By the numbers: Vikings: lost 15-19 at the Detroit Lions (Nov. 1). Bears: won 34-17 at the Seattle Seahawks (Nov. 2).

What to watch: The deadline falls Tuesday, so any Minnesota move has to come in the next two days.
