Minnesota Vikings defeat the Chicago Bears in a tense affair
Earlier today, the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Chicago Bears in what was a rather tedious affair. It wasn’t a tedious affair but it was made to look like one because of the Vikings themselves who looked very sloppy. Vikings Quarterback Kirk Cousins was easily the star of the match.

The Bears meanwhile were their hapless self as they posed no threat to the opposition. The match could’ve ended in a shutdown for Chicago if they hadn’t scored in the last moments of the match.
“Justin Jefferson Is So Tough”: NBA GOAT LeBron James in awe of Vikings WR
To be completely honest, Justin Jefferson had a quieter game than usual against the Chicago Bears. The Wide Receiver had an impressive 4 receptions but could only cover 47 yards and score a Touchdown. This fact was also confirmed by QB Kirk Cousins who said that Jefferson was very tightly marked by the Bears’ defense. “From what I could tell on the Surface tablet pictures, they basically triple-teamed Justin,” Cousins said about his second touchdown.
Despite the not-so-flattering stats, the WR was wreaking havoc with his off-the-ball movement and NBA Great LeBron James tweeted the same. The LA Lakers Forward took to Twitter to share his awe of the Wide Receiver’s talent. “Justin Jefferson is so TOUGH!!!! #YoungKing🤴🏾,” tweeted the NBA Legend.
