Vikings beat Bears to secure seventh straight win

The Minnesota Vikings claimed a seventh straight NFL victory with a 30-12 win over the Chicago Bears in Minneapolis.

Minnesota, who had already booked their place in the play-offs after the Seattle Seahawks lost to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, are now 12-2 and level with Detroit Lions at the top of the NFC North.

Quarterback Sam Darnold completed 24 of 40 passes for 231 yards, one touchdown to Justin Jefferson and one interception as the Vikings boosted their chances of achieving the top seed in the NFC.

Aaron Jones and Cam Akers had touchdown runs in the second half as the Bears fell to an eighth consecutive defeat.
