The Vikings (10-5) are now locked into the No. 6 seed and a wild-card road game next week after Monday night’s 23-10 home loss to the Green Bay Packers, who clinched the NFC North with the victory. Without injured running back Dalvin Cook, Minnesota struggled to move the ball consistently. Quarterback Kirk Cousins had a subpar performance, completing 16 of 31 passes for 122 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He was also sacked five times.
Minnesota could face any of the division winners in the wild-card round except the NFC East champion, which is locked into the No. 4 seed by having the worst record of the quartet.
The Bears (7-8) season comes to an end with its sixth non-winning season in the last seven. Throughout the season, the Bears offense failed to find the right balance with quarterback Mitch Trubisky and the run game, with many blaming second-year head coach Matt Nagy.
After a loss to archrival Green Bay, the Bears were outplayed by the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes in a 26-3 home loss last week. Trubisky went 18 of 34 for 157 yards without a touchdown or interception and did not have a completion longer than 20 yards. Rookie David Montgomery had 57 yards on 13 carries and has averaged 51.3 yards in his last nine games since his season-high 135-yard effort vs. Chargers in Week 8.
Trubisky didn’t play much in Chicago’s 16-6 win over Minnesota in Week 4, suffering a shoulder injury in the first series. Chase Daniel guided the Bears to a touchdown on that opening drive and the defense forced a pair of turnovers that led to six points.
