Vikings 20, Bears 13
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Brian Urlacher and the Chicago Bears had Adrian Peterson all bottled up, at least until it really counted.
Peterson's 8-yard touchdown run, started by a shoulder-shake to fake Urlacher at the line of scrimmage, sent the Minnesota Vikings to their fifth straight victory, 20-13 over the Bears on Monday night.
The Vikings (8-6) stayed in control of the NFC's last wild-card spot, despite four turnovers and a missed extra point. Tarvaris Jackson threw three interceptions, his first bad game in more than one month.
