Vikings beat Bears 23-20 with ferocious fourth quarter

CHICAGO -- Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater handed a gift to Chicago, and the Bears were happy to accept it.

The Vikings and Bears went into halftime tied 10-10 on Sunday at Soldier Field.

With Minnesota leading 10-3 and controlling the game, Bridgewater tried to force a pass to Stefon Diggs, and Kyle Fuller intercepted. That led to Bears quarterback Jay Cutler throwing a 21-yard touchdown pass to Alshon Jeffery with 42 seconds left in the half for the tying score.

Bridgewater had a tough first half, completing just 7 of 14 passes for 41 yards.

Before that, special teams led the way for the Vikings.
