Special Teams suck!!!
What a pathetic unit. Probably cost them the game.
PATTERSON is putting the nail in this season, lovely
This game is really hard to watch. KJ Osborne... seriously?
They're screwed, Bears are stopping Cook and there's no way Cousins can carry them.
Bailey is the only reliable guy. Colquitt is slow and has been in a terrible slump. blocking is very poor , tackling bad. what a mess

It's been noticeable for a while. I always thought it was the blocking that had issues. So not sure if it's that he is slow or the blocking/protection is not working

Zim finally beats Nagy and cousins finally beats Chicago and also gets his first MNF win
The special teams were horrendous today. They had one good play on recovering the muffed punt, but Cutting's snaps continue to be erratic, the return game was awful, and they let the ghost of Patterson run one back. I'm sure that having a young roster creates some special teams issues, but they have consistently struggled this season.
No ota's or preseason, it shows.
A lot of sloppy special teams in the nfl this year.

True, but we're witnessing one of the worst special teams units I can remember on the Vikings. Probably in the last 10 years.
=====================================
Coach Mike Zimmer simply said “yes” when asked if the Vikings special teams are aging him during a three-game winning streak that continued Monday night with a 19-13 victory in Chicago.Rocky play on coverage and return groups, as well as a poor performance by long snapper Austin Cutting, persisted against the Bears while returner Cordarrelle Patterson tied an NFL record against his former team.
