The Minnesota Vikings found a way to beat the Chicago Bears by a score of 29-22 despite blowing an 18-point first-half lead. Cameron Dantzler saved the day with a strip of Ihmir Smith-Marsette to seal the win for the Vikings.
Unfortunately, the Vikings didn’t escape the game without injuries. While the injuries weren’t to starters, they will be impactful on the depth of the team.
Both injuries happened to rookies, as running back Ty Chandler broke his thumb and cornerback Akayleb Evans is in concussion protocol.
