Santos’ 48-Yard Walk-Off Lifts Bears Over Vikings 19-17

The win underscored Chicago’s late-comeback formula built on takeaways and returns.

Overview

  • Devin Duvernay’s 56-yard kickoff return in the final minute set up Cairo Santos’ game-winning field goal, capping a 4-for-5 day after an earlier 45-yard miss.
  • Chicago improved to 7-3 with its third straight fourth-quarter comeback and seventh win in eight games, securing its first NFC North victory of the season.
  • The Bears’ defense intercepted J.J. McCarthy twice, with Kevin Byard grabbing his league-leading fifth pick and Nahshon Wright snaring an end-zone interception before halftime.
  • McCarthy finished 16-of-32 for 150 yards with two interceptions and a late touchdown to Jordan Addison as Minnesota fell to 4-6 with four losses in its last five games.
  • Caleb Williams went 16-of-32 for 193 yards without a turnover and D’Andre Swift ran for 90 yards, as Chicago again leaned on field goals after multiple stalled drives.
