The Vikings lost a poorly coached, and poorly played, game at Soldier Field 16-6. It wasn’t a game one had the feeling the Vikings could come back and win, despite being down two scores or less most of the game, simply because they were continually being outperformed and out-coached on both sides of the ball.
The Vikings were facing a depleted Bears team on a short week for them. They were without DT Akiem Hicks, DT Bilal Nichols, LB Roquan Smith, WR Taylor Gabriel, and for most of the game, QB Mitchell Trubisky.
