A lot went wrong for the Vikings offense to sputter into just 129 yards and three points during the nine meaningful drives in Chicago on Sunday night.
Immediately after the loss, three culprits were pinpointed: turnovers, a lack of a run game and red-zone inefficiency. A day later, head coach Mike Zimmer wondered aloud if the Vikings offense needs to simplify things with “too much volume” in the game plan against the Bears.
“Those same plays we called tonight are the same plays that have also worked well for us in the past,” quarterback Kirk Cousins said after the game.
