Chicago’s young and inexperienced defensive backs did a good job of holding their own against Bradford and Minnesota’s passing game. Safety Adrian Amos played a huge part in the goal line stand late in the first half, keeping the Vikings out of the end zone going into halftime. The only blemish on the secondary is that they surrendered a touchdown in the fourth quarter on fourth-and-four, giving Minnesota a glimmer of hope late in the game.
