3. Chicago Bears, 2017 (Week 5)
If you remember this game or are ultra-interested in why it was so momentous, go ahead and check out a more detailed look at the matchup.
This Week 5 contest was a fateful one as it pertained to the prosperous 2017 season and Vikings history.
Nobody knew it at the time, but it was the last game Sam Bradford would ever play for Minnesota. Contrarily, it was the first start of current Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky’s career. He lost 20-17.
Case Keenum displayed mettle and led the Vikings to history. It was the first game of the Dalvin Cook era that the running back missed thanks to the torn ACL he suffered eight days prior.
The game was a vintage, slobber-knocking NFC North tryst. Hell, the score was 3-2 at halftime. The black and blue of the old NFC Central division was out in full force.
There’s more. This contest is the last Monday night game Minnesota won. Currently, the Vikings are embroiled in a three-game Monday-night losing steak.
It was also the last time the time Minnesota won a matchup due to a game-winning field goal.
