The Minnesota Vikings did not get much of anything going offensively for a large part of Monday's win over the Chicago Bears. Despite injuries rendering Chicago's top two cornerbacks (Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon) inactive for the game, star wide receiver Justin Jefferson had just one catch heading into the fourth quarter.
Ideally, the Vikings would have had something going on the ground to take some pressure off quarterback J.J. McCarthy in the first start of his career. But a reconstructed interior offensive line was not up to the task for the first three quarters against a Bears defensive front that came to play.
