MANO-A-MANO

Vikings CB Xavier Rhodes vs. Bears WR Alshon Jeffery

WHO WON?

Jeffery had two catches in five targets, and his almost-TD reception came against Captain Munnerlyn. Rhodes wins another battle against a good wideout.

PLAY OF THE GAME

HEY, GO LONG!

The Vikings had first-and-10 at the Chicago 44 in the third quarter, and QB Teddy Bridgewater (5) fired a long pass down the right side for an uncovered Adam Thielen (19). CB Demontre Hurst (30) and S Brock Vereen weren't on the same page, and Thielen was open for the TD.

THE QUOTE

"One guy was playing Cover 2 and the rest were playing man, and I inside released him, and Teddy found me."

— Thielen
