SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- GameOn Technology, the industry-leading conversational applications platform, has announced their latest NFL partner, the Minnesota Vikings, to create an official chat experience for Facebook Messenger.

"Whether that's on our website, social media, mobile app, connected TV app, or now on Facebook Messenger, we want our fans to be able to choose how they interact with the team. GameOn provides a fantastic solution for delivering curated content to our fans on a platform they're already actively using."
