The Minnesota Vikings disappointing season ended on Sunday as they lost to the Chicago Bears at home 24-10. With the loss, the Vikings(8-7-1) will miss the playoffs after going 13-3 and making the NFC title game last season.
The Vikings were not consistent in 2018 and really did not play good football this season, which safety Jayron Kearse discussed after the loss to the Bears.
“Honestly, we didn’t play our best football all year,” Kearse said. “We can’t do anything about it now. We have a good group of guys that’s going to be in there this off-season, and we’re going to work our tails off. Try to start from OTAs on out. Right now we can’t do anything about it, and it is what it is.”
When asked why the Vikings struggled in 2018, Kearse had this to say:
“I don’t know, that’s not for me to pinpoint. That’s above my pay grade; I’m just going to play ball. I cannot pinpoint anything.”
The Vikings had a lot of issues this season, and those problems seemed to be magnified against teams with winning records. Minnesota ended the season 1-6 against teams with winning records, and because of their struggles against the better teams in the league, their season ended on Sunday against the Bears.
