Wow what a game. Who would have ever guessed before the season that a Kyle Orton offense would have scored so many points in a game? The Vikings kept up, but they were no match for the Bears' artillery.
Entering into the game the Bears were banged up. A lot of their questionable starters did not play on the defensive side of the ball and that is what made it a such a closer game than what was expected. The absence of cornerbacks Charles Tillman and Nathan Vasher showed with the first possession by Minnesota ended up with a touchdown. Of course Adrian Peterson got their offense rolling again as usual which then opened up the Bears' defense and allowed Gus Frerotte to take advantage of the second-string cornerback starters who really had not had a lot of playing time. However, the Bears responded with some fire of their own. After a few quick plays the see-saw scoring effect between Chicago and Minnesota- a score, a tie, a lead, a tie, etc. The Bears defense knuckled down and came on top defeating Minnesota 48-41. holding Adrian Peterson to only one big run.
MVP:
My MVP would have to be Kyle Orton and the second-string cornerbacks. Kyle Orton is getting really comfortable in the offense and he is getting better with every start and we really witnessed it in this game. If it weren't for Marty Booker missing some rockets from Orton the Bears might have added another fourteen points on the board. Kyle Orton is really coming onto himself and it is exciting to see him develop and be successful so far into the season.
But also very important to this win is the Bear second string players who filled in for the injured starters. The second-string cornerbacks were a little rusty in the beginning but really got it going in the game. They got two interceptions and a couple key stops by the Vikings wide receivers.
GO BEARS!!!
