Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings: First quarter recap and second quarter discussion

We’ve made it through the first quarter of Monday Night Football at U.S. Bank Stadium with the Chicago Bears and your Minnesota Vikings still scoreless, 0-0.

The Vikings won the coin toss and deferred to the second half, giving Justin Fields and the Chicago offense the football first. The Bears put together a long opening drive with Fields converting three third downs with his arm, but Ivan Pace Jr. picked up a sack to slow the Bears down and the drive stalled from there. The Bears called on Cairo Santos for a 48-yard field goal attempt and it went wide to the right, leaving the game scoreless.
