Bears get revenge against the Vikings

by Zimpok | 4 years ago | 0 Comments

The Chicago Bears hosted the Minnesota Vikings after a tough three game losing streak. The Bears intended to get revenge on the Vikings who embarresed them in Minnesota two weeks prior, and revenge they had.

Joe Montana had his best game as a rookie in the NFL, throwing 20 completions out of 22 attempts for 322 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions. This was a complete 180 from his last game against the Vikings when the Bears' QB threw 5 interceptions.

The run game complimented the passing attack by keeping the offense balanced. David Montgomery ran for 125 yards on 16 attempts with 2 touchdowns while Tarik Cohen pitched in with 5 attempts for 16 yards and 1 touchdown.

Two weeks prior, the Bears' defense couldn't get home in the pass rush and had no sacks. This week with Mack returning from injury, Mack posted no sacks but the All-Pro edge rusher took the double teams while the rest of the line reached the QB for 6 sacks and a forced fumble. The pass rush also contributed to a multitude of errant throws which helped the back seven make 5 interceptions and a forced fumble of their own.

All in all, the Bears couldn't have scripted a better revenge game against their division rival.

While the Bears sit at 2-4 for the season, they still possess a 2-1 division record and hope to extend their win streak to 2 when they face off against the Los Angeles Rams next week.
