Game balls: Vikings at Bears
Vikings defensive end D.J. Wonnum had a monster game.
D.J. WONNUM
Vikings defensive end
The second-year end, now the team's leading pass rusher with Danielle Hunter and Everson Griffen out, had a monster game. He had three sacks, including one on a fourth-and-1 from the Vikings 21; two tackles for a loss; four quarterback hits; and a forced fumble, which the Bears recovered.
IHMIR SMITH-MARSETTE
Vikings receiver
With all the Bears' attention on Justin Jefferson, the rookie scored his first NFL touchdown on his second career reception on a 7-yard pass from Kirk Cousins in the third quarter.
AKIEM HICKS
Bears defensive lineman
It's not a Vikings-Bears game if Hicks isn't a force. He had two of the Bears' four sacks, two tackles for a loss and four quarterback hits, and kept the Vikings' run game bottled up as usual.
Mike Conley was in Minneapolis, where he sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Vikings game, on Sunday during the robbery.
