MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Vikings will play their chief division rivals in prime-time road games this season.
They meet Green Bay on a Monday night this season for the eighth time in the history of the border rivalry, a Nov. 14 game on ESPN against the defending Super Bowl champions at Lambeau Field.
The NFL released the 2011 schedule on Tuesday, though the league and the players must first forge a new collective bargaining agreement before it can be played.
The Vikings will also play at Chicago on a Sunday night on NBC, Oct. 16.
Other than those night-time matchups with the Packers and the Bears, all but three of Minnesota's games are scheduled for the Sunday noon slots.
