<v Speaker 3>hosting the Saint Louis Blues at the AX puck Drop

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 3>shortly after seven pm.

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 4>Where you're home not just for Vikings.

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 3>Football, but Wild hockey as well, and as that team

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 3>goes through some changes, the Vikings trying to figure out

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.480
<v Speaker 3>how to navigate changes over the last month at the

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 3>quarterback position. The Vikings lose last night twelve ten to

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 3>the Chicago Bears under the bright lights of Monday night football.

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 3>Vikings now six and six, and while they're firmly still

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 3>in a playoff position in the NFC Wildcard race, things

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 3>continuing to get dicey as the Vikings went from winning

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:25.960
<v Speaker 3>five straight to now losing a couple in a row

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 3>by a combined three points.

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 4>And later on you're going to hear from the head coach.

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 3>He does an exclusive KFA and interview after each and

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.759
<v Speaker 3>every game win or lose. Kevin O'Connell chats with Bett

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 3>Leeber and I'm going to play that back for you.

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 3>But first let's rewind to the action. And well, when

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.040
<v Speaker 3>I say that, during Vikings rewind, usually there's a plethora

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 3>of highlights that are to be played kind of shortly

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 3>following that. But last night at US Bank Stadium, frankly,

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 3>the first half not a lot of highlights. But I

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 3>will start with this. The offense was a problem. In

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 3>the first quarter last night. The Minnesota Vikings totaled just

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 3>three plays. They had the ball for one minute and

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.639
<v Speaker 3>thirty nine seconds of the first quarter. That's a massive problem.

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.920
<v Speaker 3>They totaled minus seven yards, part of a sack on

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 3>Josh Dobbs three and out. They punt and the Bears

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 3>had two possessions that completed the rest of the first quarter.

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Tatum Everett Vikings dot Com, Vikings Entertainment Network. She chatted

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 3>with running back Alexander Madison after the game, and the

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 3>first thing she asked him is, what are some reasons

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 3>that the offense struggled so much tonight? Turnovers four of

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 3>them aside, what's going on with the offense?

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 4>Why were there some struggles?

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 3>And let's play that interview back for you here to

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:37.639
<v Speaker 3>kick things off.

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 5>Just you know, all eleven have to do their job

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 5>on every single play. We have to execute the players

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.639
<v Speaker 5>that are called. I don't think that we were able

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 5>to do that snap in a snapout. You got to

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 5>give credit to the defense on the other.

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Side of the ball and how they played as well.

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 5>But I think you know, it comes down to turnovers

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 5>as well, you know, us beating ourselves and we just

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 5>have to clean that up. We can't let that be

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 5>a case of why we're losing football games. And that's

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 5>really what it's been all season long. You know, our

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 5>losses have come at our own hands, and we understand

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 5>what we have in this locker room where we're capable of.

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 2>We should have to continue to try and live up

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:13.360
<v Speaker 2>to that.

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.400
<v Speaker 6>What is something that you guys do weekly to try

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:17.919
<v Speaker 6>and shore those issues up.

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 5>It's all about executing. It's all about just make sure

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 5>that we understand. You know, what it takes to win

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 5>a football game, what it takes, and sometimes, you know,

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 5>on Sunday, the ball just bounce away. Sometimes some stuff

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 5>happens and you just have to live with them. You

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 5>have to try and bounce back and play complimentary football.

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 5>Our defense did an amazing job today, but you know,

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 5>we came up short a few times where we should

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 5>have put some points on the board to reward them

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 5>for the amazing defense that they played. So we should

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 5>have to make sure we look at the tape and

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 5>dissected and understand where we can be better at.

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 6>There were a few different guys on the Chicago Bears

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 6>front that were different. They were guys you hadn't seen

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 6>the last kind of matchup. How did that change things

0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 6>for y'all?

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 5>I mean we still we just we played them as

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 5>the Chicago Bears, whoever they have lined up against us,

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 5>whoever is in the front, whereas in the back end.

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 2>We just have to make sure that we go out

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>there and execute.

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 5>So we didn't try and play too much attention to

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 5>who was lined up against us, but just make sure

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 5>that we go out.

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>There and try and execute.

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 5>And we aren't able to do that tonight, and it sucks,

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 5>but you know that we have to just continue to

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 5>push forward, put this one to bed, dissect it, and

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:28.840
<v Speaker 5>come off to bye week strong.

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 6>What do you tell Josh Dobbs in a night late

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.919
<v Speaker 6>tonight that he probably wishes he could have done done better?

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 5>Just supportive, nothing but support. You know, he's an amazing player.

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 5>You see it every day that the way that he prepares,

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 5>it's one of those things, like I said, you know,

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 5>sometimes it doesn't bounce away.

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it's not your day.

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 5>It's not about you know him as a player, it's

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:52.160
<v Speaker 5>not about him as a person.

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 2>It's not about any of that he gave us all.

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 5>You see the effort snap in or snap out, the

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 5>way that he leads his offense, the way that he

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 5>encourages his teammates, it's it's nothing but love for him,

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 5>and I know that he'll come back stronger after this

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 5>this week, after we look at some tape and after

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 5>we you know, put this put this one to bed.

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.159
<v Speaker 6>Well, you've got a little bit of time. Finally, it's

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 6>the bye week, which I'm sure you players are pretty

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 6>excited about just being able to rest your bodies and

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.279
<v Speaker 6>get back into you know, maybe fifty percent shape now

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 6>I'm kidding, and just just to get back a little

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.279
<v Speaker 6>bit more right, So how do you attack the next

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 6>five weeks when you return from the bye week?

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Four head of steam? This is the playoffs for us.

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.280
<v Speaker 5>We understand that we have to play that way every

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 5>week so that we can make sure that we ensure

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 5>you know the potential of what our future can hold.

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 2>So come back off the bye week.

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 5>Hit a song, and make sure that we just keep

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 5>our head down, keep pushing.

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:47.040
<v Speaker 3>Alexander Madison with Tatum Everett following the game last night. Madison,

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 3>by the way, ten carries fifty two yards, so you

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 3>like that per carry clip team only ran the ball

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 3>seventeen times. A lot of people wondering after that fumble

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 3>that Madison coughed up against the Denver Broncos, would there

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:03.040
<v Speaker 3>be any panel to your punishment or accountability a punitive

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.279
<v Speaker 3>aspect to it, where maybe ty Chandler he's earning more reps,

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.160
<v Speaker 3>he's got that boost, he's got that spark. Ty Chandler

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 3>just had four Carrigs, didn't play many snaps actually at

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 3>all throughout the second half. So Madison's still getting the

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.919
<v Speaker 3>Lieons share of opportunities there. But as the issues for

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 3>the offense were mounting, the defense came to play last night.

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 4>The last two games, the.

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.359
<v Speaker 3>Vikings defense have surrendered just one offensive touchdown a total

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.159
<v Speaker 3>of nine field goals, keeping the Vikings in position to

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 3>win two games that they have unfortunately lost. Bears got

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.440
<v Speaker 3>the ball first to start last night's game. They're driving,

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 3>they're trying to make things happen. But Ivan Pace Junior

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 3>had something to say about it. Defensive playmaking early on

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.719
<v Speaker 3>for this team. Second and eighth from the Vikings twenty

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 3>four fields.

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 4>He's hit.

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 7>Justin fields is dat by Ivan Pace Junior, the first

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 7>pull sack of his career.

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 3>So where the offense was having problems last night, the

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 3>defense was having no problems shut down justin fields and

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 3>that Bears offense for almost the entire game. Cairo Santos

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 3>he kicked a lot last night, but the first one

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 3>he missed it.

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 4>Santos is nineteen of twenty this year and.

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 7>He's kicking to the west side of the US Bank Stadium.

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 7>Patrick Scales as a long snapper in his one hundred

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 7>and seventeenth game. Punter Trenton gill Hold snap spot Santo's

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 7>right footed.

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 4>Kit end over end.

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 3>No good, Kyrie Santos missed. So it's good times bad times.

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 3>That drive by the way, as I play the Madison interview,

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 3>just kind of getting a vibe for the first half

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 3>offense can't get it going. But the Bears started off

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 3>the game with a nine minute drive and they come

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 3>away empty.

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 4>No points.

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 3>Now, Vikings first possession, I laid it out for you

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 3>at three plays they went backwards seven yards just a

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.280
<v Speaker 3>minute thirty nine of possession in the first quarter for

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:51.960
<v Speaker 3>the Vikings.

0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 7>Well, this is why scoreless Brandon powellin motioned to the

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 7>right seventh consecutive game without Justin. Jefferson Dobbs on third

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 7>down back to pass test that.

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 4>Fall over him.

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 7>Hanny sack him at the thirty loss of nine. Minnesota

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 7>goes three and out.

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 3>They punt, Bears get the ball back another five and

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 3>a half minute drive.

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 4>They make that field goal.

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Ten plays sixty seven yards so it's three to nothing,

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 3>and now the Vikings they get a little turnover happy.

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 3>So first half defense playing well, keeping them out of

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 3>the end zone. Offense, well, they're giving it to the

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 3>other team.

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.239
<v Speaker 7>Dobbs on second down, out of the shotgun.

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 4>Poor man rush.

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 7>He throws left in our Stepkin Addison was wide open,

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 7>but Jalen Johnson picked it off, turns it up into

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.840
<v Speaker 7>Vikings territory forty five angles to the forty taking down

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 7>at the thirty seven yard line. Second interception wearing purple

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:49.079
<v Speaker 7>and gold for Josh Dobbs. Third this season for Jalen

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 7>Johnson and the Chicago Bears have turned over the Minnesota Vikings.

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 4>But then they go three and out.

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 3>Defense playing well, Vikings get the ball back six plays

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 3>thirty seven yards in and another interception.

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 7>Third and four from their own forty nine Dobbs out

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.680
<v Speaker 7>of the shot done. Three receivers right, Jordan Addison left,

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 7>Bears blitch Dobbs straight drop fires.

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.680
<v Speaker 4>Over the middle. It bounces off the hands of.

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 7>Jordan Addison and it picked.

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 4>Off by Jakwan Brisker.

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 7>The Chicago Bears have intercepted Josh Dobbs to White in

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 7>the first quarter and a half of this Bears battle

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 7>one twenty six.

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 3>It looked like a great throw from Dobbs, kind of

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 3>timing as Jordan Addison is making the turn that ball

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 3>was out of Dobbs's hands and it just smacks Addison

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 3>right in the helmet and goes right to the Bears defender.

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 4>That's two picks in the first half for Josh Dobbs.

0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 3>And then but still defense forces a punt on the

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 3>next possession for the Bears.

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 4>Vikings offense goes.

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 3>Three and out. Hey, that's better than a turnover. At

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 3>least you're punting. Force another punt from the Bears, and

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 3>seven plays sixty four yards of Vikings offense at the

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 3>end of the first half. I have to play this

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 3>highlight just to prove to you that the Vikings did

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 3>indeed score points in the first.

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 4>Half of last night's game.

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.720
<v Speaker 7>Thirty four yard try right hash by Greg Joseph to

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 7>finish the first half snap spot Joseph right put it

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 7>Kickings good h and is three to three at halftime.

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 4>The Vikings get the ball to begin the second half.

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 4>You heard that three to three.

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 3>At the break, Vikings do get the ball, taking advantage

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 3>of the middle eight, scoring on the back side or

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.320
<v Speaker 3>front side of halftime, getting points on the back side

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 3>or the beginning of the third quarter. Vikings get the

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.880
<v Speaker 3>ball five plays thirty yards, but they're faced with a

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.720
<v Speaker 3>fourth and seven near midfield. Do they punt it? Kevin

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 3>O'Connell says, nope, we need points. We feel good about

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 3>this defense. We're gonna go for it.

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 7>Three two Now, Chandler motions to the backfield.

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 4>They get off the play on fourth down, tops straight, drop,

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 4>fires right, and.

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 7>It's caught by Hawkinson, who reaches the ball close to

0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:55.080
<v Speaker 7>the first down.

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:55.840
<v Speaker 4>He didn't get it.

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm really split on this at the time. I just

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 3>would have preferred a punt, but you're gonna go for it.

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:01.319
<v Speaker 4>TJ.

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.440
<v Speaker 3>Hawkinson needs seven yards. He ran a six yard route.

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 3>There's something wrong with that. Additionally, if you watch the

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:12.679
<v Speaker 3>throw Dobbs, if he leads TJ closer to the boundary,

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.679
<v Speaker 3>it's an easy first down, probably plus an extra six

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.200
<v Speaker 3>seven yards after the catch. But in as it was

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 3>another turnover this time on downs ensuing possession for the Bears,

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 3>they're able to take advantage of a short field. They

0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 3>go ten plays, just thirty four yards, but another five

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 3>minutes off the clock. A lot of possession for the

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Bears last night. As a matter of fact, they had

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:38.200
<v Speaker 3>the ball for thirty five minutes fifty seconds. The Bears

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 3>had it last night, So some domination in time of

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 3>possession for the visitors. They get another field goal, so

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 3>now it's six ' three in favor of the Bears.

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 3>And here's where the interception started happening again.

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 7>Four through three from the Bears forty four third quarter.

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 7>Dobbs straight drop, four man rush rolls over the middle,

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 7>both houses.

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 2>In the air.

0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.079
<v Speaker 4>It's intercept it again. TJ.

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 7>Edwards off Josh Dobbs, who has the first three interception.

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Game of his career. It was just ugly last night.

0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 3>And I know it's fourth down. It's fourth and three,

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.200
<v Speaker 3>so you move the sticks. You're going to turn the

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 3>ball over on downs anyway, but you do have the

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 3>right to complete a three yard pass. You have the

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 3>right to use your legs pick up the first down

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.320
<v Speaker 3>with your feet instead trying to fit something into a

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 3>window that wasn't open.

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 4>And TJ.

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Edwards comes down with it, and if anything, you're almost happy.

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.320
<v Speaker 3>He picked it off. You know why, because line of

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 3>scrimmage was at the Bears forty four. Edwards could have

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 3>just batted it down and that's where the Bears take over.

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 3>He picks it off, So it's good for the stat sheet,

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 3>but they lose thirteen yards as they took over at

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 3>their own thirty one yard line. The Bears would drive

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.840
<v Speaker 3>and they go eight plays thirty two yards. Know the

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 3>three and a half minute or so drive that takes

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.960
<v Speaker 3>us into the early stages, less than a minute into

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.840
<v Speaker 3>the fourth quarter as Cairo santos from fifty five yards

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.440
<v Speaker 3>and it's good. So now it's nine to three early

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 3>fourth for the Chicago Bears over the Vikings and the

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.080
<v Speaker 3>defense keeping them out of the end zone. All of

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 3>this negativity, all of these turnovers, and the Vikings can

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 3>score a touchdown and take the lead. Well, the one

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.920
<v Speaker 3>thing that you can't do is continue giving it to

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:18.040
<v Speaker 3>the other team. And at this stage three nothing in

0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.559
<v Speaker 3>terms of takeaways for the Bears to the Vikings.

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.720
<v Speaker 4>Make it on the ensuing possession, four nothing.

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:27.080
<v Speaker 7>CJ Hamm the tailback dops Encountered crows it over the

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 7>middle and it's intercepted. I believe, are they gonna stay

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.960
<v Speaker 7>incomplete or Bear's ball, Bears ball. It nearly was intercepted

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.840
<v Speaker 7>by defensive lineman Justin Jones, but then it popped out

0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 7>of his arms and into the arms of.

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 4>Kyler Gorton, a cornerback.

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 7>That's four interceptions for Josh Dobbs and the.

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 4>Vikings are minus four in the take give.

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 3>Minus four in the take give twenty four turnovers this

0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 3>season in twelve games by the Vikings offense, You're averaging

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 3>two giveaways per game. How do you even win six

0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.319
<v Speaker 3>games with numbers like that? Now, if this is any team,

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 3>most teams other than the three win Bears operation, the

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.920
<v Speaker 3>Vikings are down double digits and the game is absolutely over.

0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 3>But it is the three win Bears, and they do

0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 3>make mistakes. And on the ensuing possession, Justin Fields made

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 3>this thing interesting real quick.

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 7>Second and ten for Justin Fields takes the snap, He's

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.920
<v Speaker 7>going to try to run it, right, he dropped, Fields dropted.

0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 7>Did the Minnesota Vikings recovery, Yes, yes we did. Justin

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 7>Fields fumbled it and hey, the Vikings have taken the

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 7>ball from the Chicago Bears.

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:40.400
<v Speaker 4>How about that?

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 3>And with nine forty six left in the game, the

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Minnesota Vikings go on an eight play seventy seven yard

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 3>drive and TJ. Hawkinson helps the Vikings take the lead.

0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.600
<v Speaker 7>First and ten from the Bears seventeen clock runs top

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 7>shot guns, short drop looks right, so he's not.

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 4>He prosed the.

0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Anti dude day.

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 7>Hawkinson with a seventeen yard crab.

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.840
<v Speaker 4>Has tied the game at nine.

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 3>And the extra point makes it ten to nine in

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 3>favor of the Vikings with five and a half minutes

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 3>left to go in the game, and then the Bears

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:19.320
<v Speaker 3>fumble again.

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:20.400
<v Speaker 4>Burned down for the Bears.

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 7>Third and ten field shot gun, Minnesota rushes four justin

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:28.720
<v Speaker 7>steps up, He's gonna run, gets to the forty.

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Rugger.

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:35.640
<v Speaker 7>The Vikings welcome back Anthony Barr.

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.720
<v Speaker 4>That's a huge fumble recovery, massive moment.

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Two consecutive turnovers by the Bears.

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 4>Vikings have a chance.

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.880
<v Speaker 3>Just move the sticks and you can either get into

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 3>field goal range to force the need of a touchdown

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.800
<v Speaker 3>by the Bears, or you can ice this thing.

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:52.200
<v Speaker 4>And run the clock out.

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 3>Two bad runs by Madison, a catch by Brandon Powell

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.840
<v Speaker 3>behind the line of scrimmage, a bad Ryan right punt,

0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 3>and the Bears are at the twenty three line with

0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 3>a chance to drive and kick a field goal.

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:04.280
<v Speaker 4>It's third down.

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 3>Need this defense to stand tall one more time, but

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:08.360
<v Speaker 3>they couldn't bear.

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 4>Seventy sixteen on per down.

0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 7>He's third and ten from the Vikings forty nine field,

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.040
<v Speaker 7>straight drop, trailing ten to nine. Fires over the middle,

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.480
<v Speaker 7>clot Dj Moore at the twenty five, bounce us off

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 7>Firon Murphy at the twenty, drags Vikings inside the fifteen,

0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 7>and he's taken down at the twelve. It is a

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:30.920
<v Speaker 7>reception of thirty five yards per Dj Moore and.

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 4>Just seconds remaining.

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:36.200
<v Speaker 3>Cairo Santos game winner Trenton gil Holtz Cairo Santos from

0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:37.840
<v Speaker 3>thirty right hash snap spots.

0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.800
<v Speaker 7>Tanto says kick is the band. He made it with

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 7>ten seconds to go in the game. The Chicago Bears

0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.120
<v Speaker 7>have a twelve ten league and that's your final score.

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.320
<v Speaker 7>Twelve ten and the Vikings defense keeps the team in it.

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 7>Vikings offense not able to take it.

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 3>The turnovers absolutely catastrophic for this squad right now as

0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 3>they fall to six and six in a much needed

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.360

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Last night's twelve ten Monday Night Football lost to the

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Chicago Bears. After the game, head coach Kevin O'Connell sat

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 3>down with Ben Lieber and here they are chatting and

0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 3>KOC starts off by talking about those nasty turnovers.

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:26.280
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it's you know, all you know, interceptions tonight and

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.080
<v Speaker 9>you know, there were some tipballs, there were some breakdowns

0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.480
<v Speaker 9>here and there. We'll take a look at some of

0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.399
<v Speaker 9>the decision making that goes into it. Uh, the biggest,

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:38.400
<v Speaker 9>the biggest issue right now is, you know, between those

0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:42.280
<v Speaker 9>turnovers just totally take away your ability to have a

0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.560
<v Speaker 9>chance at time of possession to move the football, to

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.359
<v Speaker 9>get down into the red zone and have a chance

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.359
<v Speaker 9>for points in a game where our defense was playing

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:55.440
<v Speaker 9>lights out, you know, overcoming some adversity multiple times when

0:18:55.440 --> 0:19:00.320
<v Speaker 9>we you know, turned it over, and I just we've

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.919
<v Speaker 9>got to find a way to play complimentary football. And

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.320
<v Speaker 9>tonight and last week, it's our ability not to turn

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.919
<v Speaker 9>the football over and sustain drives, and even if drives

0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:14.280
<v Speaker 9>have to end in punts, that is still more of

0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.280
<v Speaker 9>a winning formula and playing the field position game than

0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.879
<v Speaker 9>turning the football over. It's never ever going to be

0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:24.199
<v Speaker 9>something that you're just going to easily overcome with some

0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 9>of the things we have going on on offense, and

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.880
<v Speaker 9>we'll get some pieces back, hopefully we'll get the best

0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 9>receiver in football back, but that's not going to change

0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:33.960
<v Speaker 9>the fact that we've got a limit giving the football

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:37.199
<v Speaker 9>away to the other team because it's catastrophic for your

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:37.920
<v Speaker 9>chances to win.

0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.520
<v Speaker 10>You mentioned the defense, and that was a really bright

0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:45.119
<v Speaker 10>spot in this game, and they absolutely gave you guys

0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:45.960
<v Speaker 10>a chance.

0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:46.320
<v Speaker 2>As a team.

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:50.560
<v Speaker 10>The four turnovers which I mentioned, but the statistics off

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:54.879
<v Speaker 10>the sudden change is incredible. Two three and outs, they

0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 10>held the into one field goal, and they got one

0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.440
<v Speaker 10>takeaway as well with the Sheldon Day fumble recovery. I mean,

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:04.040
<v Speaker 10>they played outstanding. What else can you say about this defense?

0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:04.720
<v Speaker 10>Give me a chance.

0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.360
<v Speaker 9>You can't say enough about what they did over there.

0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 9>And then that's how you're able to have a you know,

0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:14.439
<v Speaker 9>one successful drive. You know, with the we stack some

0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.600
<v Speaker 9>plays together and you know, all eleven guys doing their

0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:21.399
<v Speaker 9>job offensive, we score a touchdown defensively. We saw it

0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:25.240
<v Speaker 9>all night long that they had our back. The one

0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:26.919
<v Speaker 9>thing about this locker room is they're going to keep

0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.240
<v Speaker 9>fighting all the way down to the very end. But

0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:31.119
<v Speaker 9>the fact of the matter is, when you've lose, you

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.359
<v Speaker 9>lose the turnover battle like we have the last two weeks,

0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:37.840
<v Speaker 9>and you're still within a point or still within two points,

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:40.879
<v Speaker 9>you know you don't get to play forever. Eventually the

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:44.439
<v Speaker 9>clock's gonna run out. They made one throw. You know

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.159
<v Speaker 9>they're in the two minutes to get down there in

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.560
<v Speaker 9>field goal range. And when you give yourselves no margin

0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 9>of error because of how the turnovers affect everything that

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.480
<v Speaker 9>the football game has to do with, you give them

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:57.960
<v Speaker 9>a chance to make one throw, and they made a

0:20:57.960 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 9>throw down the middle to set themselves up for a game.

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:03.439
<v Speaker 9>But I told Flow, I told the defense, you know,

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.280
<v Speaker 9>they continue to play at a level that we can

0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:09.200
<v Speaker 9>win with, we've got to find a way to limit

0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:12.000
<v Speaker 9>the turnovers. And if we've got to, you know, be

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:15.919
<v Speaker 9>more conservative and and and limit our opportunities to generate

0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:16.679
<v Speaker 9>some explosives.

0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:17.119
<v Speaker 2>So be it.

0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 9>Because the way our defense is playing complimentary football has

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:22.440
<v Speaker 9>to be the starting point. It just has to bend

0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:24.080
<v Speaker 9>to give ourselves a chance to win some of these

0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:24.840
<v Speaker 9>football games.

0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:27.440
<v Speaker 10>You know, every wishes you guys could go into the

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 10>bye week with that winning taste in your mouth.

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:31.359
<v Speaker 2>But is it has been a long.

0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 10>Stretch from the started training camp to this season. You

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:38.280
<v Speaker 10>get a chance to get to the bye week, evaluate

0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:40.760
<v Speaker 10>a lot of different things as as you typically do

0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.240
<v Speaker 10>out of the bye week. You got five games left.

0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:47.920
<v Speaker 10>What's your what's your mindset gonna be? What's your mindset

0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:49.840
<v Speaker 10>right now for the for the final five game push?

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:54.880
<v Speaker 9>Yeah to me, it's about you know, evaluating everything offense, defense,

0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:56.760
<v Speaker 9>and special teams. Take a look at what our self

0:21:56.800 --> 0:21:59.480
<v Speaker 9>scouts look like, take a look at how we can improve.

0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:02.679
<v Speaker 9>You know, I know the one metric that has to

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:05.520
<v Speaker 9>improve his turnovers, but there's other things that we'll look at.

0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 9>We'll take a look at whatever personnel we think gives

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 9>us the best chance to win football games, and we'll

0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 9>come out of this thing ready to go to Vegas

0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:14.400
<v Speaker 9>and go get a win.

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:18.399
<v Speaker 2>Last time, you know, we we felt like things.

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:22.000
<v Speaker 9>Were in a very dark spot, which is how all

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 9>our guys are gonna feel. When we felt like we

0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:27.560
<v Speaker 9>let one slip away tonight that you know, we really

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:30.240
<v Speaker 9>wanted to get going into the bye. Last time we

0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:32.639
<v Speaker 9>felt like this, we ripped off five in a row.

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 9>And if we can come off this buy with the

0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:38.120
<v Speaker 9>right kind of mentality, which I know our guys will have,

0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:40.639
<v Speaker 9>this locker room will stay together, and we'll take it

0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:43.159
<v Speaker 9>one game at a time, starting in Vegas, and we

0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:45.120
<v Speaker 9>got to go get a victory and then we'll worry

0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 9>about the next one after that and see where we

0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:49.760
<v Speaker 9>can go this year. Because I believe in this team.
