The Minnesota Vikings walked into Soldier Field and walked out with a 22-10 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, improving to a promising start in Week 2 of the 2026 season. It was a game controlled at the line of scrimmage and decided by the details, with Minnesota building a lead and never surrendering it. For Chicago, the loss stings as an early-season opportunity at home that slipped away. Kyler Murray was the difference. The Vikings quarterback led all passers with 230 yards through the air and added a game-high 79 yards on the ground, consistently extending plays and turning broken pockets into first downs. Chicago's Caleb Williams accounted for the game's only passing touchdown, and Kalif Raymond paced all receivers with 68 yards, but the Bears never found enough sustained rhythm to keep pace. Minnesota's ability to grind out yardage on the ground kept the chains moving and the Chicago offense on the sideline. Defensively, the Vikings applied the pressure that shaped the afternoon. Jalen Redmond led all players with 1.5 sacks, disrupting Williams' timing and forcing Chicago into obvious passing situations. The turning point came when Byron Murphy Jr. jumped a throw for the game's lone interception, swinging possession at a critical moment and handing the Minnesota offense a short field. T.J. Edwards was busy all day for the Bears with a game-high seven tackles, but the volume told the story of a defense on the field too long.
