The Bears defense seemed to be made for prime time Sunday night with a 25-20 victory over the Vikings at Soldier Field.
The Bears forced three Viking turnovers and quarterback Kirk Cousins of Minnesota at decisive moments throughout the night to help the Bears win their fourth consecutive victory and record 7-3 on national television.
Bears safety Eddie Jackson made a 27-yard interception return for a touchdown, safety Adrian Amos also intercepted Cousins and linebacker Khalil Mack forced and recovered a fumble.
The Cousins found receiver Stefon Diggs for a 5-yard touchdown pass with 48 seconds to play, but Akiem Hicks beat the Cousins' 2-point conversion pass to maintain a five-point lead. The Bears then recovered the Vikings' kick.
Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky launched two interceptions. Running back Tarik Cohen lost a fumble, but the Bears' defense did not let the Vikings get into the end zone after the setbacks.
Bears kicker Cody Parkey scored a 48-yard goal in 2:48 to give the Bears a 25-14 lead. Parkey, who won the Bears' Lions victory last week, scored three goals out of three.
Here's how the game went:
Parkey targets 3-0 with Bears
Bears kicker Cody Parkey was injured in the first attempt of the Bears on the Bears' first attempt Sunday night at Soldier Field.
Parkey, who missed two extra point attempts and two attempts in the Bears' Lions victory last week, scored 33 yards with a 5:58 lead in the first quarter to give the Bears a 3- 0 lead against the Vikings.
The Bears started with five straight games, including a 9-meter Trubisky third and a 20-yard Taylor Gabriel. Trubisky and Gabriel connected on a 14-yard pass. But Trubisky was sacked for a 5-yard loss by Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson on the 16-yard line in second place and the Bears settled for an investment.
Parkey practiced twice at Soldier Field on the evenings of the week before Sunday's game to regain confidence after his tough outing a week earlier.
