Matt Eberflus and Justin Fields detail the thought process behind the second-half onside kick attempt.
Kirk Cousins completed 17 straight pass attempts to open the game – which is now a Vikings franchise record. And Justin Jefferson caught 10 passes in the first half, the same number of catches Bears receiver Darnell Mooney has this season.
But, the defense"responded" by forcing the Vikings into a field goal situation. In turn, rookie Dominique Robinson blocked Greg Joseph's 51-yard attempt. "They respond, they rose up there, and they end up blocking the field goal," Eberflus said."To me, it was really a wash. We got them basically on downs for the blocked field goal.""I love it, personally," Fields said matter-of-factly."I think it's confidence in us. He believes in us. If we do get that onside kick, it gives us momentum. It shows if we don't get it, he trusts in the defense.
