Bears find a new way to lose in heartbreaking fashion, fall to Vikings in overtime

Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times

The Bears found a new way to break your heart Sunday.

Cairo Santos made a 48-yard field goal as the fourth-quarter clock expired to force overtime Sunday at Soldier Field after the Bears recovered an onside kick with 22 seconds left down by three. Safety Tarvarius Moore jumped on the ball after it hit the foot of a Vikings returner, marking just the third recovered kick in 31 tries across the NFL this year and the Bears’ first since 2021.

The Bears won the coin toss — then ran for a yard, got sacked, took a delay of game and eventually punted on fourth-and-16.
