The Chicago Bears (3-14) were defeated 29-13 by the Minnesota Vikings (13-4), which marked their 10th straight defeat to close out a dismal 2022 season.
With quarterback Justin Fields sidelined with a hip injury, this game provided another look at just how significant a role he played on offense this season. While the Bears played with better effort than last week’s embarrassing loss to the Detroit Lions, this injury-depleted roster wasn’t enough to even overcome Minnesota’s backups.
But that’s probably the best outcome to close out the year. With Chicago’s loss and the Houston Texans defeating the Indianapolis Colts, the Bears locked down the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL draft.
There were no shortage of standout performances — both good and bad — in this loss. Here’s a look at our studs and duds from the Bears’ loss to the Vikings.
