Vikings Postgame Report: Vikings Beat The Bears 19-13, Defense Has A Big Day | CHI | Week 6

Welcome to Week 6 of the Vikings Postgame Report. The Vikings fought through adversity and earned a 19-13 win in The Windy City. The Vikings Defense stepped up and made the Bears uncomfortable all day, including five sacks, two interceptions, and a scoop-and-score from linebacker Jordan Hicks. Linebacker Jordan Hicks had a banner day with ten total tackles, an interception on Justin Fields, and a 42-yard scoop and score. Fields went out with an injury and both Bears quarterbacks, Justin Fields and Tyson Bagent, only threw for 113 combined passing yards in the game. Danielle Hunter notched another two sacks, increasing his season total to eight. Josh Metellus, Harrison Phillips, and D.J. Wonnum earned the other three. Offensively, it was tough sledding all day. The Vikings only amassed 220 combined yards and Cousins hit rookie Jordan Addison for the only offensive touchdown of the day, his fourth on the season. Kicker Greg Joseph scored the other points, hitting two field goals in the first half from 50+ yards to get the Vikings on the board. Paul Allen and Pete Bercich recap the game from Soldier Field, including: the Defense stepping up to carry the day, the difficulty of playing a backup quarterback, D.J. Wonnum versus the Bears, the importance of getting the running game going, and Kirk Cousins day overall. Plus, head coach Kevin O'Connell and quarterback Kirk Cousins both spoke to the media at the postgame press conference. All of this and more is in the 2023 Week 5 edition of the Vikings Postgame Report.
