AI RECAPThe Minnesota Vikings topped the Chicago Bears 27-20 in a tightly contested Week 2 matchup of the 2026 season. With both teams looking to establish momentum early, the Vikings secured their first win of the season, while the Bears fell to 1-1.
Leading the charge for Minnesota was quarterback Kyler Murray, who threw for 175 yards and two touchdowns. Aaron Jones Sr. added a solid ground game with 67 rushing yards, while Jordan Addison was a standout in the passing game, racking up 94 receiving yards. This offensive trio was key in driving the Vikings to victory, providing a balanced attack that kept the Bears' defense on its heels.
Defensively, the Vikings were effective in slowing down the Bears, with Josh Metellus recording a crucial sack that disrupted Chicago's rhythm.
