Last night's game was very entertaining to watch. The Bears played very well during the first half, but still ended up behind the Vikings at the half. The second half was all Vikings: even the dreaded special teams breakdowns failed to arrive on schedule.
The key to the game was a Vikings goal-line stand late in the opening half which held the Bears inside the 1-yard line, followed by the longest passing play in team history, as Gus Frerotte connected with Bernard Berrian for a 99-yard touchdown. What looked like being a 3- or 7-point scoring drive for the Bears turned into a touchdown for the Vikings instead.
John Madden was less than scintillating — even for him — doing the colour commentary: he'd clearly forgotten that Bernard Berrian was now playing for Minnesota, and every time Chicago's Rashied Davis was near the ball, Madden would refer to him as "Berrian".
Judd Zulgad has the full story.
