Bears Edge Steelers 31-28 as Rodgers Sits With Fractured Wrist

The loss leaves Pittsburgh 6-5 in a first-place tie in the AFC North.

Overview

  • Rookie Caleb Williams threw three touchdown passes as Chicago moved to 8-3 with its eighth win in nine games.
  • With Aaron Rodgers inactive, Mason Rudolph started and capped a 17-play drive with a scoring pass to Pat Freiermuth to pull within three late.
  • Chicago sealed the result when Grady Jarrett batted down a fourth-down throw near midfield in the final minute.
  • Mike Tomlin said holding out Rodgers was a prudent team decision after he tried to play through a fractured left wrist and practiced limited on Friday with a brace.
  • Pittsburgh hosts Buffalo next before visiting Baltimore on Dec. 7 in a stretch that could shape the division race.
