The Bears began the first half by failing to convert a fourth down, followed by a Jonathan Greenard fumble, a punt and another failed fourth-down conversion. This set up an opportunity for the Vikings to easily take the early lead.

Vikings kicker Will Reichard opened the scoring, hitting a 52-yard field goal early in the first quarter to give Minnesota a 3-0 lead. Seven minutes later, wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught a seven-yard pass from Darnold, extending the lead to 10-0 at the end of the first quarter.

Williams and the Bears failed to score in the first half, while Reichart added another field goal for the Vikings, extending their lead to 13-0 at halftime.

The 13-point deficit proved to be too much for the Bears to recover from the header in the second half.

Bears kicker Cairo Santos gave Chicago the lead after halftime with a 29-yard field goal to increase the score to 13-3.

The Vikings continued to twist the knife as running back Aaron Jones ended the third quarter. Cam Akers added another score to seal the game, despite a late touchdown attempt from veteran Keenan Allen.

With another loss in the books, the Bears extended their losing streak to eight games. They’ll look to secure their first win since Week 6 when they take on the red-hot 12-2 Detroit Lions on Sunday.
