Saturday football is back, and this week the Bengals play at home against the Vikings in an inter-conference matchup.
Both teams are squarely in the playoff hunt, though with varying degrees of difficulty in their pursuit. The Bengals have a lot of ground to make up after some early season missteps but remain tied with five other teams jockeying for a wildcard spot at 7-6.
The Vikings have complete control over the NFC's No. 6 seed, though they could just as easily relinquish it with a poor end to the season.
Minnesota will start Nick Mullens at quarterback in Week 15 after he replaced Joshua Dobbs in the Vikings' 3-0 win over the Raiders in Week 14. This will be Mullens' first start since he played for the Browns in 2021, but at least he'll have wide receiver Justin Jefferson back. The stud wideout was knocked out of Week 14 with a chest injury but told reporters he would play this week.
Cincinnati won its past two games with backup quarterback Jake Browning playing tremendously under center in relief of the injured Joe Burrow. Browning has completed almost 80 percent of his passing attempts in his three starts and has thrown for 856 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions. He will have two standout wide receivers, as well, in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
Week 15 will be a reunion of sorts as well for Jefferson and Chase. The duo played together at LSU – with Burrow, no less – and haven't played each other's teams since Chase's NFL debut on Sept. 12, 2021. A lot has changed since then for both sides.
Here's what you need to know about Saturday's Week 15 clash between the Bengals and Vikings, including the broadcast information and start time.
