In a thrilling finish, Cairo Santos kicked a 48-yard field goal as time expired, securing a 19-17 victory for the Chicago Bears over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in Minneapolis. The game saw a dramatic turnaround in the fourth quarter, as the Vikings initially trailed 16-3 before mounting a comeback. A 43-yard punt return by Myles Price set the stage for Jordan Mason's 16-yard rushing touchdown, narrowing the deficit to 16-10 with 12 minutes left. The Bears struggled on their next possession, missing a 45-yard field goal attempt. However, Minnesota's momentum was short-lived, as they were unable to capitalize on their subsequent drive. The Vikings did manage to retake the lead with 50 seconds remaining, courtesy of JJ McCarthy's 15-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Addison. But Chicago responded with a crucial special teams play, as Devin Duvernay returned the kickoff 56 yards to the Vikings' 40-yard line. Although the Bears' offense stalled, Santos seized the opportunity to seal the win with a 48-yard field goal, securing Chicago's third consecutive victory.
