The intense divisional matchup between the Vikings and Bears came with some interesting records and facts. Rookie Justin Jefferson continues to make a case for the OROY, Adam Theilen and Allen Robinson have been playing lights out so far this season, Kirk Cousins finally got a win on MNF, and Cordarrelle Patterson tied the all-time NFL record with ANOTHER KR-TD.
Here are the top 5 facts to know from Week 10 MNF:
Chicago Bears have had the luxury of having two of the best return specialists of all-time with Devin Hester and Cordarrelle Patterson taking kicks and punts back at an absurd rate.
Cordarrelle Patterson's 104 yard kick return TD was the 8th of his career.
That ties him with Leon Washington and Josh Cribbs for the most in NFL history. pic.twitter.com/wIBBx6peXj
Although Kirk Cousin’s tenure on the Vikings hasn’t been great so far, he does produce pretty well, especially on play-acton, helping him finally end his dreadful MNF streak.
ICMI, Kirk Cousins picked up his first career win on Monday Night Football and his first win against the Bears as a member of the Vikings.

Kirk Cousins has thrown 20 passing touchdowns on play action since the start of the 2019 season, three more than the next closest quarterback (Ryan Tannehill, 17).
Minnesota was down in the dumps at 1-5 to start the season, but after consecutive division wins, they’re right back in the playoff hunt.
The @Vikings are the only NFL team since the merger to be at least 4 games under .500 and then proceed to beat every other team in their division in consecutive games.#Skol
Justin Jefferson has easily been the best rookie WR in the league this year, and with a half a season still left, he is already breaking records set by HOFer Randy Moss.
Justin Jefferson (135 receiving yards tonight) joins Randy Moss as the only rookies in @Vikings history with a 100-yard receiving game on Monday Night Football. Moss had 190 receiving yards at Green Bay as a rookie in 1998 on #MNF.#Vikings
