(Chicago, IL) -- Jordan Hicks had a big day on defense to carry the Vikings to an ugly 19-13 win over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
Hicks intercepted a pass with the game tied late in the first half to set up a Vikings touchdown before halftime. He also recovered a fumble for a touchdown to give Minnesota a two-possession lead in the third quarter. Chicago scored in the fourth to get back within a possession, but Byron Murphy picked off Tyson Bagent with under two minutes left in regulation to seal the Vikings victory. Kirk Cousins had just 181 passing yards and a touchdown in the victory.
The Purple are in third place in the NFC North at 2-4, and they host the 49ers next Monday.
