CHICAGO -- Sam Bradford and the Minnesota Vikings were rolling as the NFLs last undefeated team. Now, they cant even beat the last-place team in their division.Bradford got sacked five times behind a leaky offensive line and the Vikings dropped their second straight in a stunning 20-10 loss to the Chicago Bears on Monday night.Were a good team, guard Brandon Fusco said. Its not us. Its not Viking football. Thats what is frustrating, were such a good team. What were putting out on the field is not us. We have to watch the film and get better from this.The Vikings (5-2) lost their second straight following a defeat against Philadelphia last week. And if there was any doubt the blueprint to beat them was out, it got squashed with this loss.Cutler threw for 252 yards and a touchdown after missing five games with a thumb injury, rookie Jordan Howard ran for a career-high 153 yards and a TD and the Bears (2-6) dominated in the trenches en route to a stunning victory.Here are some things to know about the Vikings loss to the Bears.OFF LINE: The Vikings have allowed 11 sacks the past two weeks. If that doesnt say it all, what does?Their tackles once again got dominated.Jake Long was out of football and hoping to get a chance to prove his right knee was healthy again when the Vikings signed him on Oct. 11. The Vikings moved T.J. Clemmings to right tackle for the Eagles game and had Long at left tackle.But he gave up two strip sacks against Philadelphia and got beaten by Chicagos Leonard Floyd on a sack.Weve got to keep Sam upright, Long said. I mean, when he has a clean pocket he does great things so we just cant get him hit like that.CUTLER COMMITMENT: Cutler had not played since he left the second game of the season against Philadelphia. But with his future up in the air after coach John Fox wavered in his commitment to him as the starter, he made a triumphant return.Cutler completed 20 of 31 passes, including an 11-yard touchdown to Alshon Jeffery early in the third that made it 20-3. Whether he quieted fans who thought the Bears were better off with Brian Hoyer is another issue. But that became a moot point when Hoyer broke his left arm last week in a Thursday night loss at Green Bay.He might have been part of that reason why guys turned it up a notch, Fox said.NO DEFENSE: The Vikings came in with the NFLs No. 1 defense. The way the Bears moved, it was hard to tell.The 403 total yards and 158 rushing yards were season highs against Minnesota. That included a 69-yard run by Howard , the longest by a Bears player in seven years.We missed a big one early, linebacker Chad Greenway said. They hit it. We missed a tackle, bad angles, as a whole defense we give it up.BIG PLAYS: The Bears struck big when they could, reached the end zone and looked more for Jeffery down the field with Cutler at quarterback. Those were things they didnt do with Hoyer.Chicago scored two touchdowns, and four Bears players had receptions of 20 yards or more. Jeffery caught four passes for 63 yards and his first touchdown catch of the year -- an 11-yarder. He also had a 34-yard reception.I told him that Im just going to keep coming to you, Cutler said. We wanted to get him vertical at some point in the game.FLOYDS EMERGENCE: Bears rookie outside linebacker Leonard Floyd continues to emerge.The No. 9 overall draft pick has dealt with calf and hamstring injuries, but he is coming on strong.Floyd had a sack early in this game after collecting two against Green Bay.We have a first-round pick out there who we think very much of, Fox said. Hes been up and down as far as injuries throughout his career so far, whether it was in camp, preseason and obviously the regular season. I think hes a big boost.---AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Discount Air Jordan 2 Retro . JOHNS, N. Pink Air Jordan 2 Retro .

TROON, Scotland -- A promising start on Saturday morning didnt last over Royal Troons treacherous back nine for Jordan Spieth, who is having difficulty matching his form of a year ago -- and who finds the comparisons unfair.Spieths 1-over-par 72 during the third round of The Open means he has failed to break par in any round of a major championship in 2016 since an opening 66 at the Masters, where he squandered a five-shot advantage over the final nine holes.Now hes just looking to gain momentum for the PGA Championship in two weeks, as he was 15 strokes behind Phil Mickelson before the leader teeing off.Its been tough given I think its been a solid year and I think, had last year not happened, Id be having a lot of positive questions, Spieth said. Instead, most of the questions I get are comparing to last year and therefore negative because its not to the same standard.So thats almost tough to then convince myself that youre having a good year when the questions I get make me feel like its not. So thats a bit unfair to me, but dont feel sorry for me. Ill still be OK. But I would appreciate if people would look at the positives over comparing to maybe hopefully what would happen to me a few times in my career a year, like laast year.dddddddddddd. It seems a bit unfair at 22 to be expecting something like that all the time.Spieth won the Masters and U.S. Open last year and came within a stroke of a playoff at The Open at St. Andrews. He finished the years Grand Slams second at the PGA Championship and was third at this years Masters.But despite victories at Kapalua in January and the Colonial in May, Spieths year has been marked by inconsistency and judged by the five-victory season -- that was capped with a FedEx Cup title -- in 2015.On Saturday, after making the cut on the number, Spieth played the first seven holes in 4-under par. Then he missed short par putts at the ninth and 10th, double-bogeyed the 11 and added another bogey at the 15th, failing to make any more birdies.Im hitting the ball great, very pleased with that; I hit it well enough to shoot 4- or 5-under easy today, Spieth said. On the front nine, if I putt the way I should putt ... my short game and wedge has really let me down, too. Im very pleased with the way Im striking the ball, especially in these conditions. Just cant quite get it in the hole. ' ' '
