BEARS 17, VIKINGS 20

Too bad they didn't stop at halftime, with the score 3-2 Vikings.  But, you can't have everything.  daBares finally got a pass play over 30 yards...on a perfectly timed fake punt that went for a touchdown (38 yards). Punter Pat O'Donnell takes the honors. Bears best first down plays were penalties on the Viking defense ( Bears Rookie QB Mitch Trubinsky didn't have a terrible game, but he delivered the rookie blunder with 2 minutes to to, throwing the interception deep in his own territory with the score tied 17-17.  The Vikings, try as they might to lose to a Chicago team that is so banged up the Dr. Pepper vendor guy was playing linebacker by the end of the game, gave up the ghost and kicked the game winner from chip-shot range.  Excellent Doormat contest.
