The Chicago Bears faced another disappointing defeat, losing 30-27 in overtime to the Minnesota Vikings, marking their fifth consecutive loss. Despite a late onside kick recovery by the Bears, which led to a game-tying field goal, Minnesota secured the win with a field goal in overtime.
Special teams errors plagued Chicago once again, including a crucial muffed punt by DeAndre Carter that allowed the Vikings to extend their lead. The Bears have struggled since a promising start, raising questions about the team's direction and the future of head coach Matt Eberflus.
