Bears WIN!!! On last minute TD by Rex Grossman.
In a sloppy penalty ridden game the Bears come out on top. Grossman started off strong on 6-7 passing then the Vikes blitzing was too much for them. Grossman threw 2 INTs for 10 Viking points. Rex finished 23/41 for 278yds 1TD and 2 INTs. While Brad Johnson finished 21/31 for 194yds 0 TD and 0 INT. Neither team was effective running the ball but the Vikes were a little better rushing for 97yds to the Bears 51yds. The Vikes took the lead early in the 4th quarter on a Antoine Winfield 7yd interception return for a TD. Then added a 41yd field goal with 7:27 left to make it 16-12 Vikes. Then Grossman came alive after a Viking fumble. The Bears scored their only TD of the game when it really counted on a 5 play 37yd drive. Capped by Rex Grossman's 24 yd TD pass to Rashied Davis with 1:53 left inthe game.
The Bears are now 3-0 and 3-0 in their division after starting the season with 3 divisional games.

that fumble should be given to grad johnson as he barely even tried to hand it to taylor, that ugh ugh ugly. Great job by the bears, and some really stupid plays called at the end by the vikes with that run on third and then a deep pass when you NEED two. I was hoping that minny would tie it though as I have gould on my fantasy team and wanted him to get another field goal.

Ellis the reception on my TV was screwing up at that point in the game. Don't know why, but it really PMO!! I really couldn't see what was going on.

I'm glad I didn't put my foot through the picture tube though.

darn, that sucks, and at the most critical part of the game. I may have put my foot through it.

It was close but then I realzed if I did that I'll miss the rest of the games.

It's ok now.

yeah it is, they won. You would have been laughing at the play calling, The vikes got a great return on the kickoff and just played like they didn't want to win.

I got Brad Johnson as my #2 in my cap league, I got the kinda game iExpect from him, no turnovers. A TD would have been nice.

I like how Grossman bounced back after that pick, he didnt have a great game but IMO it was a character building game.

I don't think I would have said this last year but I hope the injury to Des Clark isn't very bad. He seems to be a vital part of the Bears offense this year! Anyway good game for the Bears, time to get ready for the Hawks!!

**Professor** · 09-24-2006, 04:32 PM

grunt, i know they gave that fumble to chester, but it was brad's fault at the end and some poor decisions at the end.

and to denver, I agree desmond has come up big for them this year and I hope he is ok.
