Cousins, Vikings overcome Patterson return, beat Bears 19-13

Kirk Cousins threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns, and the Minnesota Vikings overcame a 104-yard kickoff return by Chicago’s Cordarrelle Patterson to beat the Bears 19-13

NOVEMBER 17, 2020 • Associated Press

Picks off first pass of season Mack intercepted a pass and tallied three stops in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Monday.

Impact Although Mack has posted between two and five tackles in each game this season, he's been a fantastic playmaker with 6.5 sacks, a pair of forced fumbles and now an interception. When used in IDP leagues as a linebacker, he's dependent upon those big plays because he has a low scoring floor when they don't occur.

Remains hot Mack recorded a sack and five tackles in Chicago's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Impact Mack notched the only sack the Bears had in the game, and he's now posted at least one sack in four straight games, giving him 6.5 on the season. He's also tallied at least four tackles in each of the last three games, and although he's not the IDP legend he was a few years ago, as long as he stays hot, he's a solid fantasy option.

Stays hot in loss Mack notched a sack and four tackles in Chicago's 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday.

Impact With Chicago playing from behind for much of the game, the Rams were able to run the ball often, but Mack was still able to enter the sack column for the fifth time in six games. Although he typically records about six tackles per game, his ability to pile up sacks gives him weekly upside in IDP leagues.
