The Vikings moved to 9-2 this season after defeating the Bears 30-27 in Chicago. Minnesota immediately turned the ball over in the first quarter when Aaron Jones fumbled at Chicago's two-yard line, and then Chicago took the lead. Minnesota fought back and tied the game before taking the lead and not relinquishing it until the final seconds of the fourth quarter. The Bears would score a touchdown and get the two-point conversion, making it a three-point game with just 22 seconds left. The Bears attempted an onside kick and the ball didn't travel a full 10 yards, but it hit Johnny Mundt's knee and the Bears recovered. After a long pass from Caleb Williams, the Bears kicked a field to take overtime.
Jonathan Greenard would sack Williams on the Bears' possession, and Chicago would have to punt to the Vikings. Minnesota then systematically pushed down the field, and when Minnesota reached the Chicago 10-yard line, Kevin O'Connell elected to allow Parker Romo to attempt a 29-yard field goal to win the game.
After the win over the Bears at Solider Field, here's what social media had to say.
Darnold won the game
Yes, Darnold was much taller than Caleb. Barring another fluke situation, the Vikings take this as they should have in regulation. Williams made a few throws, missed two potential touchdowns at the end of regulation, and doesn't even remember what he tried to do in OT. Darnold just stood up and won.
