Late in the first quarter Monday night as the Chicago Bears hosted the Minnesota Vikings, Sam Bradford spent an eternity in the end zone and paid for it. Chicago utilized a three-man rush as Minnesota’s offense was backed up into its own end zone on third-and-15. Leonard Floyd kept working, and Bradford kept holding onto the ball.
The result was pretty predictable.
The Bears took an early 2-0 lead in this game, which is notable because it’s the first one back for Bradford (knee injury) and because Mitchell Trubisky is getting his first NFL start.
