Cairo Santos drilled a 48-yard field goal as time expired, and the Chicago Bears escaped with a 19-17 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis.
Teammates swarmed Santos after the kick, which marked his fourth successful field goal in five attempts for Chicago (7-3). Kyle Monangai scored the lone touchdown for the Bears.
JJ McCarthy completed 16 of 32 passes for 150 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions for Minnesota (4-6). Jordan Mason rushed for a score and Jordan Addison had a touchdown catch for the Vikings.
The Bears led comfortably for much of the game before the Vikings rallied in the fourth quarter.
