The Chicago Bears won their NFL game at the Minnesota Vikings without a touchdown of their own. At 12:10 on Monday evening (November 27th, 2023), the guests scored all of their points through field goals and recorded only their fourth win of the season in the twelfth game.
The defeat in the division duel hits the Vikings particularly hard. The team, in which quarterback Kirk Cousins can no longer play this season due to a torn Achilles tendon and is replaced by Joshua Dobbs, now has six wins and six defeats and is getting pressure from behind in the fight for the playoff tickets from the Green Bay Packers .
Backing up Justin Fields
Both teams allowed themselves a total of six turnovers in a weak offensive encounter. Bears quarterback Justin Fields lost the football twice. “My teammates and coaches supported me,” he reported to ESPN.
“I played okay. There’s always room to improve and the two fumbles weren’t good, but it was okay.” German-American Equanimeous St. Brown did a lot of the work for the Bears as a blocker, but didn’t get a ball thrown to him by Fields.
Detroit Lions still at the top
In the NFC North, the Detroit Lions with his brother Amon-Ra St. Brown are still at the top. The Vikings are second but now have a week off. The Packers can draw level with a win next weekend.
Chicago is now in last place with four wins and eight defeats. Participation in the playoffs is only guaranteed as a division winner.
