Vikings win on walk-off field goal in overtime after taking a late lead, allowing onside kick recovery

The Minnesota Vikings won a thriller at Soldier Field, a game they almost suffocated.

The Vikings led with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, but needed a field goal in overtime to beat the Chicago Bears 30-27.

With 22 seconds left and trailing by 11, Caleb Williams hit Keenan Allen for a one-yard score, and the two-point conversion was successful when Williams found DJ Moore.

The Bears then recovered the onside kick, just the third onside recovery of the season in the NFL. They quickly got within field goal range on a long catch by Moore and scored the field goal to send the game to overtime. They outscored the Vikings 17-3 in the fourth quarter.

The Bears went three-and-out on the first possession of overtime, and that turned out to be the last time they would touch the ball on the day.

Justin Jefferson had just one catch in regulation, but his second of the game put Minnesota in center field. A few plays later, Sam Darnold found TJ Hockenson for a gain of 29 to get them inside the 10-yard line. After Darnold took a knee in the middle of the hash marks, John Parker Romo drilled the chip shot to give Minnesota the win.

CHIEFS WASTE LAST DOUBLE DIGITS LEAD BUT SURVIVE IN WALK-OFF MODE AGAINST PANTHERS

It was the best day the Bears’ offense has had in a while, after failing to score 20 points in each of their previous four games and losing them all. But apparently 27 isn’t enough.

Darnold went 22-for-34 for 330 yards and two touchdowns. Jordan Addison went off for eight catches and 162 yards and one of the scores. Aaron Jones also added 106 yards on the ground and another touchdown.

Caleb Williams threw for 340 yards in the losing effort, while Moore had seven catches for 106 yards and a touchdown. Allen added nine catches for 86 yards and the score in the fourth quarter.
