A late rally by the Vikings wasn't enough to overcome three-plus quarters peppered with missed opportunities in a 25-20 loss to the Bears in Chicago on Sunday night.

Minnesota scored 14 points in the final 4:51, but Chicago was able to take a 25-14 lead with 2:48 remaining on a 48-yard field goal by Cody Parkey, who didn't miss a kick on the night after missing four total kicks at home the previous week.

The Vikings responded with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs with 48 seconds remaining, but Minnesota was unable to get a 2-point conversion on a pass that was batted by Akiem Hicks, who disrupted the line from start to finish.

An onside kick attempt by Dan Bailey was fielded cleanly by Benny Cunningham.

The Vikings fell to 5-4-1 (1-1-1 in the NFC North), and the Bears improved to 7-3 with a 2-1 mark in the division.

Chicago visits Detroit on Thursday; Minnesota will host Green Bay next week on Sunday Night Football.

The Bears finished with 308 yards and limited the Vikings to 268. Chicago converted 6 of 12 third downs, including three of the six that needed seven or more yards.

Chicago rushed for 148 yards and was led by Jordan Howard's 63 on 18 carries. Tarik Cohen added 27 on seven runs, and quarterback Mitchell Trubisky was particularly pesky, totaling 43 yards on 10 carries.

Minnesota finished with 22 rushing yards on 14 attempts.

Trubisky was 20-of-31 passing for 165 yards with a touchdown. He was intercepted twice by Anthony Harris.

Cousins finished 30-of-46 passing with 262 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Diggs caught 13 passes for 126 yards.

Adam Thielen added seven catches for 66 yards.

Cousins' interception in the fourth quarter was returned 27 yards for a touchdown by Eddie Jackson, and the Bears followed with a 2-point conversion pass for a commanding 22-6 lead with 8:30 remaining.

The 14-0 halftime deficit the Vikings faced could have been better or worse.

Chicago gained 15 first downs, compared to five for Minnesota, and the Bears had 202 net yards in the first half while limiting the Vikings to 77 and dominating time of possession (19:55 to 10:05).

Mistakes, including an overthrow on a pass to Diggs in the end zone, a fumble lost by Cook at the Chicago 14 and an interception of Cousins at the Chicago 8 on a play that was snapped at the Bears 32 denied the Vikings best scoring opportunities in the first half.
