Sam Darnold threw for 90 of his 330 yards in overtime to set up Parker Romo’s game-ending 29-yard field goal, and the Minnesota Vikings outlasted the Chicago Bears 30-27 after giving up 11 points in the final 22 seconds of regulation.

Quarterback Sam Darnold kickstarted the Vikings' offense on Thursday as he has most of the 2024 season, and plans to play Sunday in a meaningful NFC North road game at Chicago. Darnold returned to practice after being listed as a limited participant on Wednesday because of a foot injury.

Minnesota opened at +300 to land the now former Giants QB, while the Panthers came in at +170, per Bovada's odds as shared by the ML Football X account. The Steelers were third at +800 and the Browns were tied for sixth at +1000.
