After Minnesota stuffed Chicago on four tries from the 1, Gus Frerotte threw a 99-yard touchdown pass to Bernard Berrian to help the Vikings take a 17-7 lead over the Bears and spark a 34-14 win.
Matt Forte's 26-yard run gave the Bears a first-and-goal at 1 midway through the second quarter. Kyle Orton's pass to Greg Olsen was incomplete on first down, Forte was stopped short on second down, fullback Jason Davis was kept out on third down and, then Pat Williams, Chad Greenway and Jared Allen swarmed to Forte on fourth down to help the Vikings avoid falling behind 14-3 with first place in the NFC North on the line.
On the very next play, Frerotte dropped into his own end zone, looked right and then found Berrian all alone down the left sideline. Cornerback Charles Tillman thought Berrian was going to run a post and drifted toward the middle of the field, but Berrian kept going straight down the sideline on a fly pattern.
