Tell me if you’ve heard this one before. The Chicago Bears offense shows some signs of life for a game or two, but the defense lets them down. Then, the defense finally steps up with a good performance, but the offense falters.
The Bears held the Minnesota Vikings to 220 yards of total offense, 12 first downs, and 15.4% on third downs (2-13), and they got a takeaway.
But it didn’t matter because Chicago’s offense could only muster 275 yards, and they gave the ball away three times.
The Bears had a fourth-quarter score to make it interesting, but a late interception sealed the 19 to 13 win for the Vikes.
