Elias Says...
A COSTLY MISS FOR LONGWELL
The Bears defeated the Vikings in overtime on Monday after Chicago's Israel Idonije blocked Ryan Longwell's extra-point attempt during regulation. It was the first time that the Bears have won a regular-season game in overtime after an opponent missed an extra-point during regulation. The Vikings have had one other loss in that way, in 2002 against Buffalo, in which Minnesota's Doug Brien missed two extra-point attempts during regulation.
