Vikings beat Bears, earn playoff bye

January 1, 2018 By Minnesota News Network

Vikings 23, Bears 10

MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota had a few flaws on offense and special teams but now will have an extra week to work on them before opening the playoffs at home.

The Vikings (13-3) clinched a first-round bye with the win over Chicago and might have spelled the end for Bears head coach John Fox, who is widely expected to be dismissed after his team finished 5-11.

Vikings running back Latavius Murray had a pair of touchdowns, while quarterback Case Keenum was 21 of 29 for 189 yards and one touchdown. Bears rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky was 20 of 36 for 176 yards and was sacked once. He also gave up a safety.
