Bears Rally Past Giants as Williams, Gardner-Johnson Deliver Late

A 6-3 record now reflects a team leaning on late-game composure under first-year coach Ben Johnson.

Overview

  • Chicago erased a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Giants 24-20 at Soldier Field, posting a sixth win in seven games.
  • Caleb Williams led a nine-play, 91-yard touchdown drive to Rome Odunze, then finished a four-play, 53-yard march with a 17-yard scoring run for the lead.
  • Williams went 20-of-36 for 220 yards and a touchdown with 63 rushing yards, tying the NFL lead with four fourth-quarter comebacks and game-winning drives this season.
  • Recent signee C.J. Gardner-Johnson logged nine tackles, two sacks and a momentum-shifting forced fumble recovered by Nahshon Wright, becoming the first Bears defensive back since 2006 to record two sacks in a game.
  • Gardner-Johnson’s hit sent Jaxson Dart to concussion evaluation and brought in Russell Wilson, and Ben Johnson later handed game balls to Williams and Gardner-Johnson as PFF charted six drops by Chicago’s receivers.
