The win moved Chicago to 7-3 and into first place in the NFC North, with the Bears outgaining Minnesota 320-265 and generating two turnovers while committing none across 36 minutes of possession. Minnesota dropped to 4-6 with its first NFC North loss of 2025, a one-point defeat that arrived only after the Vikings had erased a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit to briefly take the lead.
