Bears running back Jordan Howard has made the only big plays early in Monday night’s Bears-Vikings game.

The Bears have a 13-0 lead on a Howard touchdown run. He had a 69-yard run to set up the first field goal and also has a 34-yard catch.

Alshon Jeffery dropped a pass in the end zone early in the second quarter, forcing the Bears to settle for their second field goal.

The Vikings’ offensive line is really struggling, and the Bears are taking advantage. Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford is off to a 3-of-9 start.
