Vikings snap counts in Week 6 win vs. Bears
The Minnesota Vikings outlasted the Chicago Bears on Sunday by a score of 19-13. It was a tough game for the Vikings, as they struggled to get any kind of consistency on offense.
It was a wake-up call of sorts, as the Vikings played their worst game of the season. The defense led the way with three takeaways, including the interception that clinched the Vikings win.
