Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings: First quarter recap and second quarter discussion

The first quarter is in the books at U.S. Bank Stadium, and your Minnesota Vikings trail the Chicago Bears by a score of 3-0.

Minnesota won the coin toss and elected to defer, giving Chicago the football first. Andy Dalton led the Bears’ offense onto the field and met little resistance in moving them down the field, quickly getting them into Minnesota territory. The drive for Chicago finally stalled out at the Minnesota 24, but the Bears got points on a 42-yard field goal from Cairo Santos to take a 3-0 lead.

The Vikings started their first possession from the 25 after a touchback, but the offense went three-and-out after Kirk Cousins was sacked by Angelo Blackson on 3rd-and-1.
