Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson left the game with an ankle injury, but returned to the game in the second half and finished with 63 yards on 18 carries. He was 17 for 20 for 231 yards and four touchdown passes-equaling a 154.4 quarterback rating. He was targeted five times. The Bears looked ready for an offseason.
Broncos’ scenario: From No. 1 seed to missing playoffs
The Broncos didn’t even get back in Pittsburgh territory in the second half until there was about three minutes left in the game. Head coach Mike Tomlin said after the game that the fundamental adjustment was that the team “stopped kicking (their) own butt”.
“It’s hard for a defense to handle all of those things”, Bridgewater said.
Quarterbacks, too. Bridgewater completed 17 of 20 passes for 231 yards without a turnover, connecting twice with Stefon Diggs for scores. Running backs Jerick McKinnon and Zach Line also caught touchdowns.
The Bears? They are what they are – 5-9 with a three-game losing streak, lumped in with the muck of National Football League teams looking at Ron Rivera’s Panthers and wondering, ‘Why not us?’ But like all those other teams, they have a long way to go and a busy offseason ahead.
The Bears surprised the Vikings with an onside kick they recovered to start the second half, but three plays later Brian Robison powered his way past right tackle Kyle Long to slap the ball out of Cutler’s hand during a sack near midfield. This is one of the best games the Vikings have played all season.
The Vikings offense has taken off the last two weeks, producing 58 points and 739 yards. “We scored touchdowns when we got in the red zone and converted third downs”. Bridgewater lobbed a perfectly-placed pass to the back left corner of the end zone where only Diggs could get it. Kicker Blair Walsh made it 10-0 early in the second quarter when he banked in a field goal off the left upright from 53 yards out.
“He’s felt really good going into these last two ballgames”, Zimmer said.
NEW YORK (AP) – Karl-Anthony Towns had 24 points and 10 rebounds in the building where was taken with the No. 1 pick in the June draft, and Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Brooklyn Nets 100-85 on Sunday.
Adrian Peterson is trying to win a rushing title, but the team is trying to make the playoffs. The win Sunday over the Bears was their ninth of the season, as the turnaround under second-year coach Mike Zimmer appears to be on schedule. “I think we’re settling into who we are”.
“Real frustrating”, says Bears Linebacker Pernell McPhee.
Zimmer told McKinnon before the game he’d have a standout performance, a prediction that turned out to be true. After making Aaron Rodgers miserable, they got burned by San Francisco’s Blaine Gabbert for a 71-yard touchdown pass in overtime after his long run tied it in regulation.
“He’s a good kid, a great player. He’s a tough guy; I like the way he runs”.
