Chargers at Vikings live stream: TV schedule, time and more
By Brad Weiss
Everything you need to know about how to watch Chargers at Vikings online in the 2016 NFL preseason.
The San Diego Chargers head to Minnesota to take on the Vikings on Sunday, in the ever important third game of the preseason. The Vikings will be showing off their new stadium, as the team moved into U.S. Bank Stadium for the 2016 season. Minnesota has not lost during the preseason, and will be looking to defend their home field on Sunday.
Adrian Peterson will not play in the game, as he plans to keep himself fresh for the regular season. He has a history of being a bystander during the preseason schedule, though it should have little effect on him when the real game start. Peterson is coming off another huge season in 2015, and will be key if the Vikings wish to repeat as NFC North Champions.
Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has battled some injuries during the 2016 preseason, but he should be ready to go on Sunday. He has been working on building back arm strength, and should be at 100 percent for the regular season opener. The team is very thin at quarterback, so a healthy Bridgewater is a must for Minnesota this season.
The Chargers were once the class of the AFC West, but they have fallen on hard times as of late. They are coming off a 4-12 record in 2015, and look to finish close to the bottom of the division once again in 2016. Philip Rivers continues to be one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but he just does not have the weapons around him.
One weapon they will not have on defense is Joey Bosa, the team’s 2016 first round draft pick. Bosa continues to hold out during contract negotiations, and the team took their last offer off the table this past week. The Chargers are seriously considering playing the season without him.
