NFL Game of the Week

Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears, 1977 (13x9)

: 26, 1977

The Bears were to get the best possible inspiration to keep close to Minnesota in the NFC Central Division race. Walter Payton would emerge with a then-single-game record 275 rushing yards. Chicago couldn't score much, but its defense held the Vikings' offense out of the end zone in a 10-7 thriller.
