Even without Hicks, Chicago’s defensive line dominated Minnesota’s offensive front. Because of this dominance, the Bears held Vikings running back Dalvin Cook, the league’s leading rusher entering Week 4, to just 35 yards. In addition, Chicago’s defensive linemen were active in stopping the passing game. Roy Robertson-Harris stepped in for the injured Hicks, and recorded 1.5 sacks. Fellow lineman Nick Williams had a game-high two sacks.
