With the Vikings facing a third-and-10 at their 21-yard line with 6:23 left in overtime Sunday, Bears coach Matt Eberflus called time out to make sure his defense was in the best position for a stop that would give the Bears’ offense perhaps one last chance to win.
It didn’t work out that way. With Bears safety Kevin Byard playing six yards beyond the first-down marker, Vikings receiver Jordan Addison, lined up on the right side, made his cut toward the sideline just past the marker and caught a pass from quarterback Sam Darnold for an easy 13-yard gain that kept the drive alive.
