hosted the Minnesota Vikings (-2.5) earlier in the year and lost 19-13. That was the game where Justin Fields suffered an injury that would sideline him for an extended period. Tyson Bagent was introduced to the NFL. He had 14 attempts and threw for 83 yards.
Fields threw an interception going into score. The Vikings capitalized on that turnover and turned it into a touchdown. The Bears also had a fumble that the Vikings returned for a touchdown. Despite both of those Christmas gifts to Minnesota, the Bears still had an opportunity to win the game with just over six minutes to play.
