The Bears then recovered from an onside kick. It was their third inside recovery of the season in the NFL. They quickly got into field goal range after Moore made a long catch and drilled a field goal to send the game into overtime. They outscored the Vikings 17-3 in the fourth quarter.
The Bears had their first three possessions of overtime and were out. And it turned out to be the last time they would touch the ball that day.
Justin Jefferson only scored once in regulation. But his second game led Minnesota to midfield. A few plays later, Sam Darnold found TJ Hockenson for 29 points to get them within the 10-yard line after Darnold knelt in the middle of the hashmark. John Parker Romo then drilled a chip shot to give Minnesota the win.
