The Minnesota Vikings won a thriller at Soldier Field on Sunday in a game they were so close to choking away.

The Vikings led by two touchdowns in the fourth quarter but needed an overtime field goal to beat the Chicago Bears, 30-27.

With 22 seconds left and trailing by 11, Caleb Williams hit Keenan Allen for a one-yard score, and the two-point conversion was successful when Williams found DJ Moore.

The Bears then recovered the onside kick, just the third onside recovery on the season in the NFL. They quickly got in field goal range after a long catch by Moore and drilled the field goal to send the game into overtime. They outscored the Vikings 17-3 in the fourth quarter.

The Bears went three-and-out on the first overtime possession, and that turned out to be the last time they would touch the ball on the day. 

Justin Jefferson had just one catch in regulation, but his second of the game put Minnesota at midfield. A few plays later, Sam Darnold found T.J. Hockenson for a gain of 29 to get them inside the 10-yard line. After Darnold took a knee in the middle of the hashmarks, John Parker Romo drilled the chip shot to give Minnesota the win.
