Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Time to see how the Vikings respond to total embarrassment.

Four days after getting humbled on their home field in a 40-3 loss to the Cowboys, the Vikings are back on the very same field to take on the Patriots. They're hoping to bounce back and prove to the country that they're much, much better than they showed in their last outing. A win would take the Vikings to 9-2 and put them five full games up on the Packers and Lions in the NFC North.

It won't be easy. The Patriots have one of the NFL's elite defenses, ranking right behind the Cowboys in sack rate and pressure rate. Matthew Judon, the league's sack leader, will be going against an offensive line missing its best player in left tackle Christian Darrisaw, who is out with a concussion. Bill Belichick is one of the game's greatest defensive minds, and he'll undoubtedly look to make things difficult on backup LT Blake Brandel.

Offensively, the Patriots don't have nearly the same firepower as the Cowboys. Mac Jones has struggled in his second season, throwing four touchdown passes and seven interceptions and at one point getting benched for Bailey Zappe. New England does have a good running game with Rhamondre Stevenson and Damien Harris, something they'll look to establish early. And the Vikings are down to fourth-string outside cornerback Duke Shelley opposite Patrick Peterson, with Cameron Dantzler, Akayleb Evans, and Andrew Booth Jr. all injured.

Here's how to watch, listen to, or stream the game.
