The Chicago Bears suffered a tough 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. It was a sloppy game from the start to open their home schedule at Soldier Field. The rain was a factor all game, but it can't be an excuse as both teams played in it.

The Vikings' rash of injuries in Week 3 clears the way for wide receiver Dillon Bell to get a chance against the Buccaneers.

Minnesota named a starter and a backup for Sunday but said nothing about the quarterback who opened the season. Murray began the week in the NFL's concussion protocol.

The victory not only extended Minnesota's road win streak in Chicago (and overall win streak dating back to last season) to seven consecutive games, it gave the Vikings an early division lead. It also provided Minnesota with a boost in this week's Power Rankings, with the biggest jump being seven spots.
