Overview

• Chicago led 17-6 early in the fourth before falling 27-24, with Minnesota scoring 21 in the final quarter.
• Johnson took responsibility for a lost challenge, a burned timeout and opting against an out-of-bounds kickoff that cost precious seconds.
• The Bears committed 12 penalties for 127 yards, including multiple pre-snap infractions that undercut drives.
• Caleb Williams opened hot but finished 21-of-35 for 210 yards and a touchdown, while the run game sputtered as D’Andre Swift managed 53 yards and Williams led the team with 58 rushing.
• The Bears visit the Lions on Sunday, and ESPN research notes no team since 2002 has started 0-2 with both losses in the division and made the playoffs.
