Minnesota’s Joshua Dobbs could not do anything to help his team as they fell to a late defeat against the Chicago Bears.
The folk hero quarterback threw four interceptions in the Vikings’ 12-10 “Monday Night Football” loss to the Bears and also led an offense that played very badly. Dobbs made so many mistakes.
It marked Chicago’s first come-from-behind win in the fourth quarter since Week 1 of last season and snapped a 22-game losing streak in games it trailed at any point in the final period.
The Bears scored all 12 points on field goals and became the first team across the NFL to win a game this season despite not scoring a touchdown. Such teams entered the night 0-28 this season.
Justin Fields lost two fumbles in the fourth quarter, but a strong defense on third-and-10 near midfield he hit D.J. Moore for 36 yards to the 13 with 55 seconds left to set up the winning kick.
Chicago Bears
- Passing: Justin Fields 27/37, 217 yards

Speaking after the game, Vikings quarterback Josh Dobbs said: “Turnovers really control the game, so it starts with me and taking care of the football with my decision-making.”
