The winning vibes were fun while they lasted. The Chicago Bears were unable to create a winning streak, falling 19-13 in a sloppy game against the Minnesota Vikings. Chicago fell to 1-5, while Minnesota improved to 2-4 on the year.
The Bears’ potent offense ran dry after two games of putting up at least 28 points. They couldn’t muster a touchdown until the fourth quarter and had no answers for the Vikings ferocious pass rush. That pass rush eventually cost the Bears their starting quarterback, as Justin Fields was lost for the game with a hand injury. Tyson Bagent took over in relief and provided a few big plays, but had two costly turnovers that didn’t allow the Bears to complete a comeback.
Defensively, Chicago improved quite a bit, holding Minnesota to just 12 offensive points. The Bears defenders were flying and did enough to keep them in the game, but it didn’t matter in the end. The Bears are now back at the bottom of the standings, and the fans are officially looking toward the future with the draft.
At the moment, Chicago holds picks No. 1 and 2 in the 2024 NFL Draft. Two elite prospects would be available for the Bears to jumpstart their rebuild, and fans are all for it after this loss.
Back to tankathon!

Tyson Bagent is just the gunslinger this Bears team needs…. in order to never win another game and secure the top 2 picks in the draft

Heartbreaking loss

Well at least we don't have to worry about the Vikings as much for tank purposes.

Soul crushing loss
The only way the Bears do it

All the good vibes from the Bears finally ending their long losing streak have been swept away in a sea of injuries and ineptness.

The loss is irrelevant. This team is a bottom 5 team in the league and never had a shot in hell of making the playoffs. The defeating part is fields and the offense reverted back to form and now Justin is hurt. The is the bad part of today. We still don’t no what we have at QB

This has been the funniest Bears game in history

My favorite part of the 1 game winning streak was the friends we made along the way.

Fire literally everyone
Ryan Poles is probably the worst GM I’ve ever seen. Worse than Emery
Eberflus is probably the worst coach in 20+ years
Getsy is a joke
Fire them all. You don’t get 3+ years to have a competent team. Poles has made them a laughing stock#Bears

The good news about a #Bears loss today: The Vikings aren't good, and now they're a 2-win team.
The Bears' odds of securing a Top 2 pick in the 2024 draft just went up. The Vikings' odds just went down.
That doesn't mean much today, but it may mean a lot in April.
