It might have been an ugly win, but you never apologize for winning in the NFL. The Bears picked up their third win in a row on Sunday, defeating the Vikings 19-17 off a last-second field goal by Cairo Santos.
The Bears got out to an early lead, though the defense ended up giving the lead back up late in the fourth quarter. A clutch kick return from Devin Duvernay set Chicago up in great field position, however, and the offense was able to get into range for Santos to hit the game-winner. The score
would lead you to believe there were plenty of ups and downs throughout the game, and the tape shows you would be right.
As I did all of last year, I will be publishing five scouting reports on the performance of Bears players that fans want to hear about the most. All five of these scouting reports will go up on my Patreon every week as soon as I have finished breaking down the All-22 tape. You can join as a subscriber and receive all of my exclusive Bears and NFL Draft content for as low as $1 a month, or you can buy individual scouting reports for $4 each as you see fit.
Like last year, I will post one of my five scouting reports for free here on Windy City Gridiron for every game the Bears play. This week, I broke down the tape of the following players:
- QB Caleb Williams
- LB Tremaine Edmunds
- DE Austin Booker
- TE Cole Kmet
- RT Darnell Wright
To give you a preview of what the scouting reports look like, here’s my one-page breakdown on how Austin Booker performed against Minnesota, having taken on a bigger role in the Bears’ starting lineup with Dayo Odeyingbo out:
