Even though they’re facing mostly backups, the Chicago Bears defense came to play against the Minnesota Vikings for their final game of the 2019 season. After causing two turnovers in the first quarter, the Bear defense continued their strong play in the second quarter by scoring a safety.
After punter Pat O’Donnell and safety Deon Bush downed the Vikings at their own 1-yard line, linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski stopped Vikings running back Mike Boone in his tracks while still in the endzone, dropping him for the safety.
It’s been a rough day for Boone, who was responsible for each of the two turnovers prior to the safety when he fumbled on the Vikings opening possession and had a ball bounce off his hands for an interception on the next series.
For the Bears, it’s their first safety of the season. Nearing the end of the first half, they lead Minnesota 11-3.
