MINNEAPOLIS – Everything about the Bears’ eighth win should have been celebrated. With a little over four minutes left and down by one, Mitch Trubisky led the offense on a 15-play, 71-yard drive – which included four first downs – en route to another game-winning field goal from Eddy Pineiro. It was Matt Nagy’s fourth win in as many tries against the Vikings, and solidified a 4-2 record against the NFC North. David Montgomery rushed for more than 100 yards, the defense forced multiple turnovers, and Allen Robinson had nine catches.
In a vacuum, there was a lot to like about Sunday’s win – and if not for some pesky “context,” Bears fans might have been able to celebrate.
