Minnesota came out mixing it up and did a lot of damage with big plays on the Bears young defensive backs. Cre’Von LeBlanc gave up a big catch to Cordarrelle Patterson as he let him get too far behind him while training him – which seems to be a habit with him. Adrian Amos missed a tackle on Jerick McKinnon which allowed him to score the touchdown.
The sequence highlights one problem with the Bears. Yes, they’re playing lots of young players. But are they really any good? You wouldn’t know it by this series.
In any case, despite some better play from both of these guys in the second half, I have very serious doubts about the future of both with the Bears.

Offense
These plays were either poorly designed, poorly executed or both. They were very costly and very annoying.
Miscellaneous
The Bears sustained a long drive at the end of the first half for a touchdown despite a couple of holding calls on Bobby Massie and Josh Sitton. Part of me was disgusted and part of me was glad to see them over come the problems to score.
Jeremy Langford did his future no good by fumbling early in the second quarter in Bears territory. The Vikings turned it into a touchdown.
The Bears did (finally) get one back as Cre’Von LeBlanc did pick one off in the end zone.
Sorry. It’s not brilliant analysis. It’s just the truth.
