By Jennifer BrandelThe Chicago Bears won big against the Minnesota Vikings at Soldier Field Sunday night.
At halftime the Bears led 26 to 3, and the final score was equally comfortable: Bears 39, Vikings 10.
Bears quarterback Jay Cutler threw for 267 yards and wide receiver Devin Hester ran back a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Chicago scored on offense, defense and special teams.
Bears coach Lovie Smith said everyone played their A-game.
“All three phases really showed up. Hopefully that’s who we are - the team you saw tonight. Defense needed to come back from the last couple of weeks really, and they came back strong,” Smith said in a post-game press conference.
The Bears are now 3-3, and in third place in the NFC north division. Next the Bears head to London’s Wembley Stadium for an international series game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
