MINNEAPOLIS — Are the Bears really going to do this all season?
Just when it seemed like the late-game magic that has carried them finally evaporated, they pulled off another unbelievable escape Sunday against the Vikings. After falling behind in the final minute, they won 19-17 on a 48-yard field goal by Cairo Santos from the right hash as time ran out.
They’ve hit the point in the season where each victory is monumental, and at 7-3 for the first time since 2018, they’re very much in the thick of the NFC North race and the playoff mix regardless of how it has looked.
