The Minnesota Vikings hosted the Chicago Bears for week 15 of the NFL season in a game that is a must-win to stay in the division hunt and playoff push.
The Minnesota Vikings took on the Chicago Bears on Sunday, December 20, 2015 in a NFC division contest that could have major implications on the NFC playoff positioning and division crown.
Depleted by injuries, Minnesota was able to defeat the Bears 38-17 in a game that saw quarterback Teddy Bridgewater throw 4 touchdowns and run in one more to take this team to their 9th win of the season and get the team their first victory in December. I won’t mention Teddy’s success again in this article, because we all know how great he was in this game.
Chicago and Minnesota have a lot of star power, including running back Adrian Peterson, quarterback Jay Cutler, running back Matt Forte and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery. And while those guys all played major roles in this game, a makeshift Vikings defense and powerful passing offense made the big difference in this contest.
There were some good stuff, bad things, and interesting occurrences during the game. Let’s start by talking about the good stuff!
