Quick Take: Vikings conquer Bears country with a 9-24 victory
Sexy Rexy needs just one leg to throw for the only Bears touchdown
It was over when ...
Daniael Manning fumbled the kick off return and the Vikings took an early lead on a Adrian Petersen 1 yard touchdown run. Four interceptions later it was also time for Kyle Orton to pick up the clipboard and let Rex Grossman finish a horrible 9-24 performance for the Bears.
Game ball
In this game you get three-for-one. Gate 1 we have Tyrell Jackson with 6 tackle and three sacks. Or do you like Gate 2 with Ben Leber and his 6 tackles, one sack and two picks? Gate 3 includes Darren Sharper, the 5 tackles and 2 interceptions-man.
Key stat
10 sacks allowed, 4 interceptions and 5 turnover overall were too much for a Bears offence that has only one bright spot – rookie Matt Forte and his 165 yards receiving.
Noteworthy
The turning point of this game was in the second quarter. The Bears were marching and converted even a 2nd and 35 with one run and one pass. Mr. Drive-Killer Orton then was picked for the third time and the Vikings scored on the next play with a 70 yard pass to Sidney Rice to make it 0-21.
