Thomas Brown seemed to fare well in his match-up with Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores at Soldier Field on Nov. 24 — just his second game as the Bears’ offensive coordinator after Shane Waldron was fired on Nov. 12 after nine games.
The Bears offense — with D’Andre Swift and the running game stifled — still scored 27 points and gained 398 yards against a Vikings defense that ranked fourth in the NFL in points allowed and 10th in yards allowed. The Vikings, in fact, had allowed an average of 11 points and 221.3 yards in their previous three games.
