NFL Week 11 – Chicago Bears vs. Minnesota Vikings
Digest more
A wild Week 11 has the Chicago Bears in sole possession of first place in the division under first-year head coach Ben Johnson. The last time Chicago was in first place this late in a season was 2018, the last time the Bears won the NFC North.
Third straight late win for Bears, as Devin Duvernay's 56-yard kick return sets up Cairo Santos' 48-yard winning field goal following Vikings' rally.
After nearly pulling off in incredible escape act on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium, the Vikings ended up getting exactly what they deserved in a heartbreaking 19-17 loss to the Chicago Bears.
The Bears forced the Vikings into two turnovers, extending their league-leading turnover margin and continuing to prove they're not the same outfit we've seen over the last few years. Chicago improved to 7-3 and will host the Pittsburgh Steelers next week.
The Chicago Bears are in first place in the NFC North, and are the three seed of the NFC. @wiltfongjr with the conference standings here:
