Five extra points: Vikings lack of discipline topped by Chicago; blocking assistant's departure pays off

1. Vikings are NFL's most undisciplined team, but Bears were worse Monday

The Vikings went into their 17-9 victory at Chicago with the NFL's worst differential in penalty yards at minus-224. They had committed 106 penalties (sixth worst) for 899 yards (third worst). Monday, they drew referee Scott Novak's crew, which came in having flagged road teams 92 times in 12 games. But the Vikings were flagged seven times for 54 yards, including an ejection for Eric Kendricks. The Bears were flagged nine times for 91 yards. Even coach Matt Nagy got a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
