Stats that stood out

The Vikings defense responded to a game-tying touchdown with 12:24
remaining by not allowing another first down by the Bears and limiting
Chicago to 13 net yards in the rest of the game. 
Minnesota’s
offense helped with three drives that totaled 9:59 and flipped field
position. Chicago never made it past its own 28-yard line the rest of
the game.

I know it is redundant, and it was the Bears with a rookie QB, but our defense has been lights out.  Even in our losses, the D has really held teams in check. 

Pro Football Focus also noted the respect factor by the Bears toward Xavier Rhodes,
who was not targeted a single time for the first time in 64 career
games. PFF calculated that Rhodes was targeted 24 times in the first
four games of the season and allowed 12 receptions for 126 yards.

Again, it was the Bears and much of the game plan for the rookie was to roll him out right, but seriously, they didn't even look Xavier's way.

The stat that stuck out to me was the no first downs and about 12 yards of offense the Vikings had into the 2nd quarter. That first half was brutal to watch at Soldier Field.

yeah, the first half was brutal, even watching at home.

The first half was brutal, and I'm glad they decided to pull Bradford even when he wanted to continue. Seemed like the whole team was lifted when Case came in.
