The Vikings overcame special teams blunders and a litany of curses to finally beat the Bears 19-13 in Soldier Field. The Monday night game saw a struggling run game, but a dominant effort from the defense was able to prevail. We'll talk about Hercules Mata'afa's good game, Kirk Cousins and the third win in a row where he simply managed the game responsibly. Plus, it's Twitter Tuesday, so we'll answer some of your questions.
