Howard carried the ball 19 times for 108 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Trevor Siemian managed the game going 12/18 for 170 yards and a touchdown to Zach Miller. Miller was the Bears leading receiver catching 5 passes for 94 yards and a touchdown.

Pernell McPhee and his fellow defenders held the Vikings offense to 18 points. Bears strong safety Kyshoen Jarrett forced a fumble on Adrian Peterson and Pernell McPhee took it 60 yards for the touchdown.

The Bears will move on to the Divisional round to play the Falcons in Atlanta. The Falcons high-powered offense will be a true test for the Monsters of the Midway.
