The Minnesota Vikings secured a 30-12 victory over the Chicago Bears, but the performance left much to be desired. Quarterback Sam Darnold struggled with a passer rating of 73.1, making critical mistakes that could have cost the team against a stronger opponent.

Despite the win, the Vikings committed eight penalties and missed several opportunities to extend their lead. The defense performed well, limiting the Bears to 283 net yards and forcing turnovers. As they approach the playoffs, the Vikings must improve their play to capitalize on their chances in the coming weeks.
