Although he played only in the first half, Kyle Long’s return to the starting lineup made a positive impact on the offensive line’s performance. As mentioned earlier, Chicago’s running game gained 169 yards and scored three touchdowns. In addition, the Bears’ O-line didn’t allow a sack against a Vikings defense that has one of the best pass rushes in the NFL.
