CHICAGO (AP) — Sam Darnold figured the Vikings would recover the Bears' onside kick near the end of regulation and he would only need to kneel.
Though things got a little more complicated, he'll take this result.
Darnold threw for 90 of his 330 yards in overtime to set up Parker Romo's game-ending 29-yard field goal, and Minnesota outlasted Chicago 30-27 on Sunday after giving up 11 points in the final 22 seconds of regulation.
“You're expecting to recover the onside kick and just take some knees,” Darnold said. “So your mindset (is) you've got to get ready to go back out there and execute at a high level and I feel like our offense did a really good job of that, obviously, in overtime.”
