Minnesota Vikings 19, Chicago Bears 13: Cousins, defense carry Vikings to third straight win

They came to see Dalvin Cook. They left talking about Kirk Cousins.

(And the Vikings’ defense.)

The Minnesota Vikings accomplished that rarest of feats on Monday Night Football, a victory at Soldier Field. They held on to defeat the Chicago Bears on Monday night by a final score of 19-13.

The Vikings got the football first, and the teams exchanged turnovers on their first possessions. Kyle Rudolph lost the first fumble of his career on the Vikings’ first drive, and that was followed by Harrison Smith intercepting a pass that went off of Anthony Miller’s hands.
