Bears Edge Commanders on Walk-Off Field Goal as Takeaways and Aikman Critique Shape MNF

Troy Aikman's critical broadcast drew a pointed response from Caleb Williams.

Overview

  • Jake Moody converted a 38-yard field goal as time expired to cap Chicago's 25-24 road win, pushing the Bears to 3-2 and a three-game streak.
  • Chicago produced three takeaways that all became points, including Jaquan Brisker’s goal-line interception and a late Jayden Daniels handoff fumble recovered by Nahshon Wright to set up the winning drive.
  • Caleb Williams finished 17-of-29 for roughly 252–259 yards with one passing touchdown and one rushing score, led a 36-yard game-winning march, and committed no turnovers.
  • D’Andre Swift ran for a season-high 108 yards and turned a short pass into a 55-yard touchdown that swung momentum, with late runs helping position the decisive kick.
  • Daniels publicly accepted blame for the late fumble, while Aikman’s on-air assessment—including calling Swift’s touchdown “just luck”—prompted Williams’ Instagram retort and a subtle on-air defense from coach Ben Johnson, who also praised linebackers T. J. Edwards and Tremaine Edmunds for their run defense.
