Game summary:
Minnesota started this game strong, with two great drives by the offense that put 10 points on the board in the first quarter. The Vikings defense held Chicago to nothing in the first half as a whole, including a 4th down stop. They also forced a fumble from QB Caleb Williams that assisted in the touchdown as well. In the 2nd quarter, Reichard hit another field goal before halftime to give Minnesota a firm two possession lead.
In the 3rd quarter, Minnesota yet again owned the quarter with a touchdown and only allowed a field goal to Chicago. In the 4th quarter, things got a little dicey but Minnesota was able to put up their 10 points to put themselves far enough to keep the Bears out of reach.

Playoff Update
Minnesota clinched a playoff berth with Green Bay's win over Seattle on Sunday night and it was confirmed with the win over the Bears. Right now, Detroit and Philadelphia have also clinched playoff berths. Elsewhere, Tampa Bay leads the NFC South and the LA Rams lead the NFC West. Green Bay and Washington are the final two wildcards right now.

Injury Report
Minnesota has lost a couple folks these last few weeks. OL Brian O'Neill had several injury issues in the win over Chicago, and CB Stephon Gilmore has been dealing with a few injuries these last few weeks that kept him out of the last two games. He will most likely be questionable for this week's game.

Up Next
The Vikings will hit the road to play in Seattle against a Seahawks team trying to make the playoffs. Kickoff is at 3:05 PM CT in the Rainy City.
