Vikings Narrowly Outscored at U.S. Bank Stadium by Visiting Bears

In a closely contested battle at U.S. Bank Stadium, the Chicago Bears edged out the Minnesota Vikings with a 12-10 scoreline. The Bears improved their season to 4-8, while the Vikings now stand at an even 6-6.

The Minnesota Vikings fought hard on their home turf but fell short by a narrow margin against the visiting Chicago Bears. Despite a valiant effort, the Vikings' offense could only muster 242 total yards and one touchdown throughout the game. The team's passing game saw them complete 22 out of 32 attempts for 185 yards, including one touchdown pass that covered a distance of 17 yards – the longest in their aerial attack.

The ground game was not enough to turn the tide in favor of the home team either; with just 73 rushing yards from 17 attempts, they failed to reach the end zone on foot. The offensive line allowed two sacks for a loss of yardage that contributed to an overall net passing yardage of just 169.

Defensively, however, there were some bright spots for Minnesota as they managed three sacks and forced three fumbles during play – recovering two themselves without losing any fumbles in return. They also held firm on third down conversions allowing only two successes from nine attempts by their opponents.

Special teams played their part too; all kicks were successful with one field goal made from within thirty-nine yards and an extra point conversion following their sole touchdown. Kick returns yielded thirty-eight yards off one attempt which was also positive for field positioning.

Attendance at U.S. Bank Stadium was strong with sixty-six thousand eight hundred forty-three fans witnessing this tightly contested match-up between divisional rivals.
