The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Chicago Bears in Week 17, but let’s talk about the good, bad, and interesting things from the regular season finale.

The regular season finale has arrived for the NFL. Week 17 is a time when most franchises play their final game then look forward to next year, but the Minnesota Vikings have already ensured a spot in the postseason.

The only question heading into the last game of the year against the Chicago Bears is where the Vikings would be seeded in the NFL. A win over Chicago would have them locked into the second seed where they would get a first-round bye while a loss puts them in danger of dropping to third and having to play on Wild Card Weekend.

Thankfully, the Vikings were able to defend U.S. Bank Stadium in the regular season finale and defeated the Bears by a final score of 23-10 and gave themselves one well-deserved week of rest before heading into the playoffs.

But the real question regards the Ups and Downs of the game. Let’s discuss the good and bad things from the Week 17 game between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears starting with the positives!
