Cairo Santos kicked a 38-yard field goal as time expired Sunday night to give the Chicago Bears a 27-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, despite a career-high four interceptions from quarterback Caleb Williams.
Williams set up the winner by finding tight end Colston Loveland for a 38-yard gain to the Tampa Bay 16-yard line with 40 seconds left, the Guardian reported. Chicago (7-2) committed five turnovers in all.
How it happened
The Bears built a 14-0 lead on their first two drives, then Williams threw interceptions on three of the next four, NFL.com reported. Chicago led 24-16 until receiver Luther Burden III fumbled with 3:38 left after a helmet hit that caused a concussion. Tampa Bay turned it into a touchdown and a two-point conversion to tie the game.
NFL Research said the four interceptions were the most Williams has thrown in a game at any level, and the most by a quarterback in a win since Jared Goff threw five in 2024.
What they said
"I'm going to throw until I can't throw anymore," Williams said, via ESPN. "I'm going to keep grippin' it, keep rippin' it."
Why it matters here: Chicago sits fifth in the NFC playoff picture, while the 49ers (7-1) hold the top spot.
