Norv Turner may not have gotten the Vikings’ offense into the mess it’s currently in. But if Minnesota’s offensive coordinator cannot figure out some way to dig his team out of it, Minnesota’s once-promising season is going to go up in flames, in a hurry.
One week after a disheveled, four-turnover performance in Philadelphia, the Vikings showed almost no signs of life Monday night against the Bears. The result: A 20-10 loss that opened the NFC North race wide open, really for the first time since Minnesota downed Green Bay back in Week 2. Jay Cutler returned from a five-game injury absence and threw for 252 yards and a touchdown.
