CHICAGO — Matt Nagy might have watched the Minnesota Vikings play the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4 and thought, “Let’s do that.” The Rams that Thursday night in L.A. threw the kitchen sink early at the Vikings, and they pretty much had their way with one of the best defenses in the NFL.
The Chicago Bears couldn’t quite reach that level of offensive success against the Vikings. But they gained an early advantage in their 25-20 win over the Vikings Sunday night on the first few drives of the game by planting seeds in the defenders’ heads.
