The Minnesota Vikings are on their bye week which means a weekend of enjoying the National Football League relatively carefree.

Meanwhile, the late slate has one of the marquee games of the season with the San Francisco 49ers taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of the NFC Championship Game.

Stock up, Stock down in Vikings 12-10 loss vs. Bears

As the Vikings self-reflect on their bye week, there a few stocks that rose, while some have plummeted given their recent performances.

The Minnesota Vikings ended up losing a second straight game in heart-breaking fashion against the Chicago Bears 12-10.

In a game that is only suitable to watch as a comedy, Minnesota scored the lone touchdown as Josh Dobbs found tight end T.J. Hockenson for Minnesota’s go-ahead score with just under six minutes to go in the game.

With the way that the defenses were playing, that should have been enough.

It wasn’t.

The Bears made just enough plays down the stretch to send the Vikings licking their wounds as they head into a much-needed bye week.

As Minnesota takes its time to self-reflect, let’s look at whose stocks rose despite the ugly showing and whose stocks sank alongside the putrid performance.

Vikings throw four interceptions, suffer brutal loss vs. Bears

Turning the ball over four times is a recipe for disaster, something the Vikings know all too well

The Minnesota Vikings turned the ball over five times and couldn’t capitalize on the defense not allowing a touchdown in a brutal 12-10 loss to the Chicago Bears.

The defense was consistent from the start, allowing the Bears inside the red zone once all game. It was evident that Brian Flores didn’t respect Justin Fields’ ability to attack down the field, as the Vikings were very aggressive in attacking the running backs and wide receivers in short areas consistently.

The first play of the game for the Vikings on offense was a deep post to Jordan Addison who looked to have caught the ball, but it was ruled incomplete and Kevin O’Connell didn’t challenge.

The Vikings spiraled downward on offense all game long after that. Dobbs had issues all game long, as he threw four interceptions and had issues placing the ball all game long. His poor ball placement resulted in a turnover on downs and an easy touchdown.

The key play for the Vikings was a Danielle Hunter strip-sack of Fields. The Vikings had just turned it over for the fourth time and were in danger of going down two scores. Dobbs then found T.J. Hockenson for a touchdown to put the Vikings up 10-9.

Josh Metellus then stripped Fields in the open field to force the second-straight turnover and gave the Vikings the ball in plus territory. They couldn’t get anything done and punted the ball back to the Bears.

On the final drive, Flores chose not to send a lot of pressure on Fields and it looked like a good call until Fields found D.J. Moore on a 36-yard dig route to set the Bears up for a 30 yard game-winning field goal. A brutal loss for the Vikings heading into the bye week.

Up next is a bye week for the Vikings and then the Las Vegas Raiders on December 10th.

Minnesota finally gets in the end zone for go-ahead touchdown

It took almost the entire game, but the Vikings finally found the end zone to take the lead on Monday Night Football.

There was no guarantee that it would happen, but it did. This hideous performance on Monday Night Football did have a team score a touchdown, and it belongs to the Minnesota Vikings.

Josh Dobbs finds his favorite target T.J. Hockenson up the seam as the Vikings take the lead on the Chicago Bears 10-9 in the waning moments of this ugly football game.

Dobbs has had a night to forget as he has thrown four interceptions, some inexcusable, tonight in front of all of U.S. Bank Stadium.

Whether missing Jordan Addison on a double move up the field or hitting Hockenson short of the sticks to turn the ball over, this Minnesota team had no business being in the football game given the way Dobbs had played.

But they were. And they have taken advantage. Even in the midst of this adversity, this Minnesota team finds a way to overcome.

Stay tuned to Vikings Wire for more live game updates.

Twitter reacts to another four turnover game from the Vikings

Fans were not happy with Josh Dobbs throwing four interceptions against the Bears

Another week of Minnesota Vikings football and another week of the same issues.

The Vikings have been turnover machines this season, especially with fumbles. This game hasn’t seen single fumble from Minnesota, but the Vikings have thrown three interceptions, all of them by quarterback Josh Dobbs.

In fact, the Vikings have turned the ball over seven times since the last time they have forced one on defense. In fact, this is the first four-interception game since 2014 when Matt Cassel threw four against the New England Patriots.

Things are getting very frustrating in Minnesota with this team who is still missing both Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson.

Social media was set ablaze after Dobbs threw his third and fourth interception.

Vikings inactives include Akayleb Evans, Lewis Cine to play

After a four week absence, Lewis Cine returns for the Minnesota Vikings as they take on the Chicago Bears on Monday night football.

The Minnesota Vikings have released their inactives for Monday night’s game against the Chicago Bears.

  • CB Akayleb Evans
  • TE Nick Muse
  • ILB Nick Vigil
  • G Chris Reed
  • OT Hakeem Adeniji
  • QB Jaren Hall

Evans is out for the second consecutive game. It’s the smart call with the bye week next week.

Muse is inactive for the 12th-consecutive game and Adeniji is inactive once again as well.

Vigil is inactive due to the health of Brian Asamoah II who returns after a four-game absence.

Hall is the emergency third quarterback and will be behind both Josh Dobbs and Nick Mullens.

The big thing here is that Lewis Cine is active for the first time since the October 29th game against the Green Bay Packers.

The game kicks off at 7:15 p.m. CST.

Vikings elevate Anthony Barr to active roster, keep Justin Jefferson on IR

Barr will play in his second-consecutive game on Monday night

Ahead of Monday night’s game against the Chicago Bears, the Minnesota Vikings elevated inside linebacker Anthony Barr to the active roster. He played in 12 snaps against the Denver Broncos and made a couple of tackles as well.

The one thing the Vikings didn’t do was activate wide receiver Justin Jefferson. He was downgraded to out.

This was reported multiple times over the last few days, including on Thanksgiving Day by The Athletic’s Diana Russini. With the Vikings on a bye next week, it makes sense to proceed with caution.

The Vikings and Bears kick off on Monday night at 7:15 CST.
