Minnesota mounted a late surge to edge Chicago in Week 1 after a penalty-marred Bears start.

DJ Moore flashed as a playmaker, but the offense stalled when it mattered. Special teams woes and a pivotal late-kick miss underscored the gaps. Ben Johnson’s aggressiveness drew mixed reviews as Chicago eyes a tougher test against Detroit.
