Game Summary:
The Vikings didn't have the greatest game. They scored in the 1st quarter for the first time this year with a field goal. In the 2nd quarter the Vikings kicked another field goal. After that the Vikings managed a touchdown before half to Jordan Addison but missed the extra point. Minnesota also missed a field goal earlier and Chicago kicked two field goals. 
In the 2nd half, the Vikings didn't do much on offense that made any sense. The defense was the really winner. Justin Fields got hurt on a sack late in the 3rd quarter so undrafted rookie QB Tyson Bagent had to play the remainder of the game. The Vikings strip sacked Bagent on his first drive and Jordan Hicks returned it for a touchdown that would end up winning Minnesota the game. In the 4th quarter, the Vikings defense allowed Bagent's first touchdown in the NFL, which narrowed the margin of victory to 19-12. However, Minnesota was able to pick off Bagent to seal the victory.

Injury Report
LB Marcus Davenport left the game in the 2nd quarter with an ankle injury and did not return to the game.
