CHICAGO -- For all the good that Sam Darnold has done for the Minnesota Vikings this season, one accomplishment in particular had eluded him: Leading a game-winning drive. So all eyes were on Darnold when he jogged to his 21-yard line for the second possession of overtime Sunday at Soldier Field.
Any cynic feared the worst: a turnover that would deliver the Chicago Bears a most improbable victory.
Any optimist hoped it would be Darnold's signature moment to date as the Vikings' QB.
Any realist figured there was roughly the same likelihood of each outcome.
