The Bears started out with great field position after a short kickoff by the Vikings was taken out to near midfield. But even after that, the Vikings had many opportunities to stop them, and even had the Bears backed up to a first and 25 situation after a chop block penalty on the Bears.

However, it was not to be, as the Bears converted that and continued to move downfield, concluding their drive with Jay Cutler’s second touchdown pass of the afternoon, this one a 19-yarder to Devin Hester.

With 44 seconds left until halftime, the Vikings trail the Bears by a score of 14-10.
