D.Brown3 months ago

Justin Fields led the game-winning drive, guiding the Chicago Bears to a 12-10 low-scoring victory over the Minnesota Vikings on “Monday Night Football.” Here’s what you need to know:

  • Down 10-9 with 1:06 remaining, Fields connected with DJ Moore for a 36-yard reception on third-and-10 that set up Bears kicker Cairo Santos’ 30-yard field goal.
  • This was Fields’ third career game-winning drive, as he finished 27-of-37 passing for 217 yards and two fumbles lost.
  • Chicago intercepted a season-high four passes, its most in a game since Week 14 of 2018 against the Los Angeles Rams . Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs had never thrown more than two interceptions in a game during his NFL or college career.
  • The Bears, who became the first team in 2023 to win a game without scoring a touchdown, improved to 4-8, while the Vikings fell to 6-6.
