Hockenson to get the Vikings in position for the field goal. Darnold also completed a 20-yard pass to Justin Jefferson, a 9-yard pass to Aaron Jones and a 12-yarder to Hockenson to fuel the drive.</p> <p>The Bears won the coin toss before overtime and started with the ball on their 30. But quarterback Caleb Williams rushed for 1 yard, lost 12 yards on a sack and was called for a delay-of-game penalty. He threw a 10-yard pass to DJ Moore on third-and-26, and the Bears punted.</p> <p>Before extending their losing streak to five games, the Bears (4-7) made a furious comeback from 11 points down to force overtime.</p> <p>DeAndre Carter’s 55-yard kickoff return set up the Bears on their second-to-last drive, when they were down 27-16. Williams then completed five passes on a 40-yard touchdown drive, which ended with a 1-yard pass to Keenan Allen with 22 seconds to play. Williams found Moore for the 2-point conversion pass to cut it to 27-24.</p> <p>Defensive back Tarvarius Moore then recovered Cairo Santos’ onside kick. Williams hit Moore with a 27-yard pass up the middle, and the Bears ran to spike the ball at the 30-yard line.</p> <p>Santos hit a 48-yard field goal as time expired in regulation to send the game to overtime tied at 27.</p> <p>Williams completed 32 of 47 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns.</p> <div class="dfp-ad dfp-cube_article" id="div-gpt-ad-cube_article" style="visibility:hidden"> <div class="htlad-cube_article" data-unit='chicagotribune.com/sports/nfl/chicago-bears/cube_article' data-targeting=''></div> </div> <p>Darnold had 330 yards on 22-for-34 passing with two touchdowns. Wide receiver Jordan Addison had eight catches for 162 yards, and Hockenson added seven catches for 114 yards.</p> <p>The Bears pulled within eight points on Williams’ 10-yard touchdown pass to Moore with 7 minutes, 22 seconds to play. Williams’ 2-point conversion pass to Allen was out of reach, and they trailed 24-16.</p> <p>The Vikings (9-2) responded with a 26-yard field goal to make it a two-score game. Darnold briefly left the drive with an injury, and backup Nick Mullens completed a 14-yard pass on third-and-13.</p> <p>Darnold returned to complete the drive, which Romo finished with his second field goal and a 27-16 lead before the Bears mounted the comeback.</p> <figure id="attachment_17808731" class="wp-caption alignnone size-article_inline"><img decoding="async" class=" lazyautosizes lazyload" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.chicagotribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/CTC-L-BEARS-VIKINGS-sw027_213921702.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" alt="Bears punt returner DeAndre Carter (11) lets the football hit his leg after calling for a fair catch.

Bears kicker Cairo Santos, after having his second straight field goal blocked earlier in the half, made a 49-yard field goal as time expired in the second quarter to cut the Vikings lead to four points.</p> <p>Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 81 yards and running back Aaron Jones ran for 60 in the first half.</p> <p>Roschon Johnson scored on a 1-yard run with 53 seconds to play in the first quarter to give the Bears an early 7-0 lead. Williams hit Keenan Allen with a 40-yard pass and D’Andre Swift with a 30-yard floater after escaping pressure on the drive.</p> <p>But the Vikings easily responded with a three-play, 67-yard drive. Darnold found Jordan Addison for a 45-yard pass and then Addison again for a 2-yard touchdown pass to tie it at 7-7. Addison was blanketed by Terell Smith on the deep shot but still made the catch.</p> <p>The Bears looked like they were going to respond. Williams hit Allen with a 24-yard pass to the Vikings 6-yard line on third down, but replay review overturned the call on the field, showing Allen had a toe out of bounds.</p> <p>The Bears turned to Santos, whose game-ending field goal was blocked last week against the Green Bay Packers. This time, Vikings defensive lineman Jerry Tillery got a hand on Santos’ 48-yard attempt, and linebacker Brian Asamoah returned the ball 21 yards to the Vikings 47.</p> <p>On the Vikings’ ensuing drive, Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson was called for pass interference against Justin Jefferson, bringing the Vikings to the 6-yard line. The penalty negated a Jonathan Owens interception.</p> <p>Darnold then hit Jalen Nailor with a 5-yard touchdown pass for a 14-7 lead.</p> <p>The Bears got their only takeaway of the half early. The Vikings were moving the ball easily on their first drive and got to the 1-yard line after Jones’ 41-yard run and Darnold’s 7-yard pass to Johnny Mundt.</p> <p>But on second-and-goal from the 1, Owens — filling in for injured safety Elijah Hicks — made a huge play, ripping the football from Jones and recovering the fumble at the 2.</p> <p>The play prevented a touchdown, but the Bears didn’t score on their ensuing drive.</p> <p><strong>Catch up on the rest of our coverage.</strong></p> <h4 class="">5 things to watch — plus our predictions</h4> <figure id="attachment_17748239" class="wp-caption alignnone size-article_inline"><img decoding="async" class=" lazyautosizes lazyload" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.chicagotribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/CTC-L-BEARS-RAMS.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" alt="Bears defensive end Montez Sweat takes the field before a game against the Rams on Sept. 29, 2024, at Soldier Field.

Playing on Thanksgiving is nothing new for the Bears, who have done it 37 times — the third most in the NFL — with another game at Detroit’s Ford Field on Nov. 28.</p> <p>Known as the Decatur and then Chicago Staleys for its first two Thanksgiving games, the Bears competed on the November holiday annually for 19 consecutive years from 1920-38. The venue that has hosted the Bears most on Thanksgiving — 11 times — is Wrigley Field.</p> <p>Here’s a look back at the team’s record on the holiday. <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/11/20/chicago-bears-thanksgiving-record-nfl/"><strong>Read more here</strong></a>.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/11/19/thanksgiving-pies-chicago-2024/">33 bakeries and restaurants for pie in Chicagoland</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/11/19/thanksgiving-meal-specials-chicago-2024/">70 restaurant specials across Chicagoland, from buffets and dinners out to at-home meal kits</a></li> </ul> </p> <div class="time mng-originally-published">Originally Published: <time datetime="2024-11-24 16:01:26">November 24, 2024 at 4:01 PM CST</time></div></div></div><div class="article-bottom-share"><div class="article-share" id="sharing-bottom" ><div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing"><h3 class="sd-title">Share this:</h3><div class="sd-content"><ul><li class="share-facebook"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-facebook-17805169" class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/11/24/chicago-bears-minnesota-vikings-week-12/?share=facebook" target="_blank" title="Click to share on Facebook" ><span></span><span class="sharing-screen-reader-text">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)</span></a></li><li class="share-x"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-x-17805169" class="share-x sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/11/24/chicago-bears-minnesota-vikings-week-12/?share=x" target="_blank" title="Click to share on X" ><span></span><span class="sharing-screen-reader-text">Click to share on X (Opens in new window)</span></a></li><li class="share-print"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="" class="share-print sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/11/24/chicago-bears-minnesota-vikings-week-12/#print" target="_blank" title="Click to print" ><span></span><span class="sharing-screen-reader-text">Click to print (Opens in new window)</span></a></li><li class="share-email"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="" class="share-email sd-button share-icon no-text" href="mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Week%2012%20recap%3A%20Chicago%20Bears%20force%20OT%20with%2011%20points%20in%2022%20seconds%20but%20still%20lose%20their%205th%20straight%2C%2030-27%20to%20Minnesota%20Vikings&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chicagotribune.com%2F2024%2F11%2F24%2Fchicago-bears-minnesota-vikings-week-12%2F&share=email" target="_blank" title="Click to email a link to a friend" data-email-share-error-title="Do you have email set up?" data-email-share-error-text="If you're having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
