The Vikings gave up a late 56-yard kick return to set up Chicago for the game-winning kick in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Bears.

The Minnesota Vikings got back to practice Wednesday with one of their biggest games of the season coming Sunday against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.

The team’s veteran players are supporting the second-year QB after a rough outing in a loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

With J.J. McCarthy struggling to find his touch and the Minnesota Vikings having put only one field goal on the board to show for their first three quarters, their first big break of the game last week came with a long punt return that gave them the ball at the Chicago 24-yard line.

ESPN’s insiders explain why the Vikings are worried about his accuracy but still committed to riding out his growing pains.

In the middle of his Monday news conference, in the midst of answering a specific question about the special teams gaffe that proved to be the last thing the Vikings couldn’t overcome in Sunday’s 19-17 loss to the Bears, head coach Kevin O’Connell got to the heart of what is wrong with this year’s 4-6 squad.

The status of Green Bay Packers' running back Josh Jacobs for this week's matchup with the Minnesota Vikings is currently up in the air.
