Vikings coach Mike Zimmer went with more Cover-3 than the Bears have seen in a while instead of the kind of two-high safety looks that have troubled the Bears and Cutler in recent weeks. That gave Cutler opportunities to make plays on the outside and give his receivers opportunities to make one-on-one plays downfield. Cutler was decisive and quick to step up in the pocket both to throw and take off running. He stared down Rhodes on his first interception and a made a bad back-foot throw and an even worse decision when free safety Harrison Smith intercepted a throw for tight end Martellus Bennett. A two-turnover game could have been four had officials not blown a fumble dead and Munnerlyn not had a bad throw hit off his chest in the end zone. His unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty turned second-and-10 into second-and-25.
