Bears and Vikings In-Game Blog: VIkings 10, Bears 0 1st

Reporting and analysis on Monday Night Football in the game between the Bears and Vikings as Caleb Williams tries to help Chicago break a seven-game losing streak.
Jefferson wide open for the 7-yard TD after a completion to Addison for a first down. Vikings up the lead with 5:04 left as they take advantage of the strip-sack. Apparently it was supposed to be Jonathan Owens on the coverage because he was closest to Jefferson but it wasn’t easy to tell. Looked like confusion. Vikings 10, Bears 0
  • They got Jones on the third straight run for just a 1-yard run. Vikings right tackle Brian O’Neill, blocking on Montez Sweat got hurt and left.
  • Too much faith put in Amegadjie, who didn’t even lay a hand on Cashman as he hit Williams throwing the ball. Aaron Jones pummels the defense up the middle on two runs to the 17.

  • Williams finally does something he hasn’t been able to do until now. He threw away the ball when the Vikings had him for a sure sack. Then a dumb call on second down with Williams on a second-and-10 RPO run. Cashman whips Amegadie, who whiffs and a strip sack with the Vikings returning it to the Bears 39.
  • Another short, quick screen, a pass to Rome Odunze for a first down. Well designed plays to beat the blitz so far from Thomas Brown.
  • Williams with a Superman move, gets away from Andrew Van Ginkel and finds Swift near the sideline for the first down in Vikings territory at the 42.

  • DJ Moore on the end around for 9 around the right side. That’s where to run it, not behind a rookie who is nervous. Then Moore goes around left side out of the backfield like a running back. That was a play they intended for Velus Jones Jr. to run.
  • Travis Homer back on kick return with DeAndre Carter out for the year. He made a good return to get it to the 30, where the Bears start their second series. The failed fourth-down run went behind Amegadjie, which probably wasn’t wise.
  • Bears defense looked nothing like they did against the 49ers on the first series. They more closely resembled the defense we saw in the Eberflus weeks this year, getting tough on the big downs.
  • On third-and-5 from the Bears 34 the pass rush nearly gets home with DeMarcus Walker and Darrell Taylor forcing an incompletion. Reichard with the 52-yard field goal. Vikings 3, Bears 0
  • Bears have pretty much assured themselves of trailing first for the 13th game.
  • EPIC RANT: The Bears SHOULD NOT Move To Naperville!
  • Thomas Brown gets like Matt Eberflus with dumb first-quarter gamble and goes for it at his own 39 and Swift can’t get it. You need a runner who can run through tackles to do that. Swift can’t.
  • Third and 2 after a short pass to Allen and Caleb tries to scramble but comes up half a yard short. If he had run immediately he would have had it but hesitated. He talked about that during the week, about being able to know when to make a play.
  • Four on first down up the middle for Swift on the first play is a big running play against that defense.
  • Caleb Williams with the ball at the 30.
  • Bears should have a good catching background with all the white in the stands as they receiver the kick in the “whiteout”.

Pregame

  • Kiran Amegadjie is reported as the starter for the Bears at left tackle. He has 36-inch plus arm length and good athleticism protecting Caleb Williams’ blind side. He also has looked very overmatched in the limited reps in games he’s had, especially at left tackle. You have to wonder how he’ll perform with all of the dome noise and against the blitzing,
