  • Date: October 9, 2022
  • Location: U.S. Bank Stadium (Minneapolis, MN)
  • Final Score: Vikings 29, Bears 22
  • The Fit: White Jersey / Navy Pants
  • Vegas Line: Bears +7.5
  • Key Notes: Bears starting quarterback Justin Fields nearly completed a massive comeback, completing 15 of 21 passes and showing great efficiency in the second half. However, a late fumble by Ihmir Smith-Marsette ended the rally against the eventual NFC North champions.
  • Historical Context: This game birthed the "Second Half Adjustment" narrative. After struggling early, the offense exploded in the second half, showing the first flashes of the high-scoring unit that would emerge later in the season.
