Bears' 19-Play TD March Powers 31-14 Win Over Cowboys

A 9:54, run-heavy march showcased Ben Johnson's identity shift, with Caleb Williams throwing four touchdowns, TE Colston Loveland facing hip-injury uncertainty.

Overview

  • Chicago assembled a 19-play, 76-yard third-quarter touchdown drive that drained 9:54 and featured 11 consecutive runs, ending with a fourth-and-goal strike from Caleb Williams to DJ Moore.
  • Per ESPN, it was the Bears' longest touchdown drive of the century by time and number of plays, and the team says it is the NFL's longest drive of the season so far.
  • Williams completed 19 of 28 passes for 298 yards and four touchdowns, guiding an offense that controlled tempo and field position against Dallas.
  • Cole Kmet said he "blacked out" around the eighth play of the marathon series yet continued as a key blocker and outlet, exemplifying the unit's physical approach.
  • Rookie tight end Colston Loveland left with a hip injury, leaving his availability for the Week 4 road game against the Raiders in question as Chicago ended a 13-game streak of scoring 30 or fewer points.
