The Minnesota Vikings found another way to win a football game, this time doing so by beating the Chicago Bears 29-22 after blowing an 18-point first-half lead.
After the Vikings allowed 19 consecutive points to go down 22-21, the Vikings drove 75 yards in 17 plays to take the lead for good.
Once the Bears got the ball back, they started moving the ball but on the fifth play of the drive, Cameron Dantzler called game and sealed the Vikings victory.

Dantzler got juked out of his shoes by former teammate and 2021 Vikings fifth-round pick Ihmir Smith-Marsette. He stayed cool as a cucumber and kept pursuing Smith-Marsette.
Normally, you don’t want a trailing defender doing nothing and just going for the football. In this scenario, it was smart with two defenders already impeding Smith-Marsette from advancing the ball any farther. Dantzler gets the ball and smartly goes down to seal the win.
Awesome play from Dantzler who is really coming into his own this season.
