EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Back when the Vikings and Bears met on Monday Night Football on Halloween, it didn’t take long for Chicago to set the tone.
Bears running back Jordan Howard ripped off a 69-yard run on Chicago’s third play from scrimmage, leading to a field goal to give the Bears an early lead they wouldn’t give up.
The Vikings couldn’t wrap up Howard on more than one occasion on the play, which remains the longest play given up by Minnesota this season.
“That was one play that we didn’t tackle well enough,” said Vikings safety Harrison Smith.
