Minneapolis: The Minnesota Vikings just keep rolling! They snagged their seventh straight win, taking down the Chicago Bears 30-12. It was a solid game, and the Vikings are now 12-2, tied with the Detroit Lions at the top of the NFC North.
Quarterback Sam Darnold had a decent night, completing 24 of 40 passes for 231 yards. He tossed one touchdown to Justin Jefferson but also had one interception. The Vikings are looking good for a top seed in the NFC playoffs.
The Bears, on the other hand, are struggling big time. This loss marks their eighth in a row. Aaron Jones and Cam Akers both had touchdown runs in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to turn things around.
The Vikings’ defense was on point, keeping the Bears from scoring until late in the fourth quarter. Coach Kevin O’Connell praised his defense, saying they made the plays when it mattered most.
In other news, the Atlanta Falcons managed to break their losing streak, beating the Las Vegas Raiders 15-9. Quarterback Kirk Cousins finally threw a touchdown after a four-game drought, but he still feels there’s room for improvement.
