It was a picture-perfect start for the Vikings on Sunday in Chicago against the Bears. Minnesota forced the Bears to punt on their first possession and the Vikings seemed to quickly get the offense going. running back Aaron Jones had a 41-yard dash to get the Vikings within the Bears' five-yard line. But Jones ended up fumbling the football and returning it to Chicago at their own two-yard line.
That would be Jones' fumble by the Vikings since the start of last season. That's three more turnovers than any other team in the NFL.
There were a lot of turnover issues in Minnesota last season between Alexander Mattison, Kirk Cousins and others. But this season hasn't been much better, with Sam Darnold's interceptions and the team's fumbling problems.
The Vikings and Bears are currently tied 0-0 and Minnesota needs to reduce turnovers to win in Chicago.
