An interesting game unfolded tonight at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois as the then 5-3-1 visiting Minnesota Vikings took on the then 6-3 Chicago Bears. A game that was flexed as one of the better game in NFL Week 11 wasn't a disappointment but was fairly one-sided. The Bears just dominated on "D" and that 25-20 final gives you no indication how dominant the Bears were on this night on that side of the Wilson pigskin!
A pick 6 by former Alabama Crimson Tide CB/S Eddie Jackson pretty much sealed the fate for the Vikes as Minnesota QB Kirk Cousins looked like for the most part Kirk Cousins from #HTTR! Forget the cash they paid him the Vikes had two free agent QBs they has targeted and one was with them at the time in Broncos Case Keenum and the other Cousins. I said this awhile ago they are good enough to keep you above water but not lead out of the water.
Cousins was 30 for 46 and 262 yards and 2 late TDs. Its easier to me playing from behind with less pressure than playing with the lead and that how he operates. Those 2 INTs were awful as one was a pick 6. He needs help in the run game and that is non-existent for the Vikes and RB Dalvin Cook (9 car 12 yds) can't cough it up and have nights where is impact is minimal to zero.
That Vertical Passing game for the Vikes is solid with Adam Thielen (7 grabs 66 yds) and Stefon Diggs (13 grabs 126 yards TD) but just think how good it would be getting TE Kyle Rudolph and a run game in that mix.
Bears offensively was moving it all game long until the 4th frame. Chicago QB Mitchell Trubisky (20 for 31 for 165 yds and TD) was ok but he still has two INTs. They spread it around to a plethora of wide outs which also good moving forward so schematically coming after Chicago they will give you some problems.
Its the run game that makes them go with Jordan Howard (18 car 63 yds) and scat back Tarik Cohen (7 car 27 yds/3 rec 23 yds) as he is a major threat in both the run game and passing attack. Can the Bears move deep into the #Fight4George yes. How deep well they must put up some points going against either the N.O. Saints or L.A. Rams.
Back to that Bears "D" OLB/DE dba "Red Jersey Collector" Khalil Mack ( 2 tckls 1 Sack 1 TFL) if he can stay healthy the Bears have . real shot to make some noise. Watch the emerging DE Leonard Floyd and ILB Roquan Smith (both from #DawgSaturday UGA Football) as they are coming around into the fold.
Bears Secondary led by Safety Eddie Jackson has to be one of the best an that bodes well later on when you have to see Air Payton from Nawlins' and Air McVay from Los Angeles. Bears move to 7-3 and 2-1 in the NFC North. The Vikes fall to 5-4-1 and 1-1-1 in the NFC North...
