"We didn't play very well defensively today," Zimmer said. "Last time we played [the Bears], they didn't score a touchdown on us defensively, and this week we couldn't slow them down.
"We didn't do a good job on the bootlegs, didn't do a good job in the run game," Zimmer added. "So that was really disappointing."
All in all, Minnesota allowed 397 total yards to Chicago, including a whopping 199 yards on the ground.
The Bears rushed for a season-best 169 yards against the Texans a week ago, but still ranked 28th in the league at 93.2 yards per game entering Week 15.
And, as Zimmer mentioned above, the Bears offense did not score a touchdown in the Week 10 meeting at Soldier Field on Monday Night Football.
Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium, the Vikings defense opened the game with a three-and-out. But Chicago's next seven drives went like this: touchdown, field goal, touchdown, field goal, one-play drive to end the first half, touchdown and field goal.
