Vikings 23, Bears 20

The Vikings went into Chicago and knocked off the Bears 23-20 today.  They improve to 5-2 on this season with this win.  What a win!   Blair Walsh with the game winning field goal as time ran out.  Teddy Bridgewater was money down the stretch once again.  The playoffs are looking like a definite possibility at this point, especially the way the defense is playing.

Observations:

• Teddy Bridgewater really struggled most of this game. 
• The Vikings offensive line needs to play better.  
• Another 100 yard game for Adrian Peterson.  The Bears can't stop him. 
• Blair Walsh is back!  He's been great lately. 
• I'm still waiting on Mike Wallace to make a difference.  
• Terrance Newman has still got some life in him. 
• I love division wins on the road.   
• Charles Johnson really came up with a big catch late in the game. 
• Teddy Bridgewater did a nice job selling that helmet to helmet hit.  
• The Bears offense did a nice job against the Viking blitzes.  
• Harrison Smith continues to impress in the secondary. 
• The Viking linebackers cover so much ground. 
• Danielle Hunter keeps flashing at DE.  I like his future. 
• Marcus Sherels isn't flashy but he really gets the job done. 
• Xavier Rhodes played much better last season. 
• Jay Cutler has to be one of the NFL's biggest enigmas.  
• That Teddy Bridgwater interception in the second quarter was very costly. 
• The Bears did a pretty good job of slowing Stefon Diggs for most of the game.
• Was that really the first interception by a Bears DB this season? 
• Up next?  St. Louis Rams next Sunday in Minneapolis.
