How to watch Vikings at Bengals: Odds and how to watch Saturday's NFL game
The Minnesota Vikings (7-6) travel east to Ohio to take on the Cincinnati Bengals (7-6) in each team's first Saturday game of the 2023 NFL season. The Vikings come in fresh off the lowest-scoring NFL game in 16 years with their 3-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The Bengals come to Week 15 quarterbacked by former Viking Jake Browning.
Browning's taken over for franchise quarterback Joe Burrow after Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. The Bengals lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Browning's first start a week later but are on a two-game winning streak after an overtime win against Jacksonville and a 34-14 win last time out against Indianapolis. Despite Burrow's absence, Cincinnati's still in the hunt for a Wild Card spot in the AFC playoffs.

Minnesota's last three games have all been decided by three points or less. The 3-0 win came after a pair of losses: 21-20 on the road against the Denver Broncos and 12-10 to NFC North division rival Chicago Bears. After benching quarterback Josh Dobbs last week against the Raiders, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell announced Tuesday that Nick Mullens will start Saturday's game.
Both teams are in the thick of the fight for a playoff spot in their respective conferences. Banking a win would improve their chances ahead of Sunday's slate; conversely, a loss would ramp up pressure heading into their final three games.
