The Chicago Bears made the fans sweat out until the final seconds again as they escaped Minneapolis with a 19-17 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The win improved their record to 7-3, and with the Detroit Lions losing to the Philadelphia Eagles, they sit atop the NFC North. But the game was far from pretty.
The offense started poorly when quarterback Caleb Williams missed badly on his throws on the first two drives, and the Bears gained only two yards. Williams, who finished with 16 of 32 passes for 193 yards, was once again let down by his receivers, who had critical drops, and the offense that had to settle for four field goals.
