Overview
- The Chicago Bears beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-24 on Sunday night when Cairo Santos drilled a 38-yard field goal as time expired to end a wild finish.
- Quarterback Caleb Williams finished 22-of-37 for 279 yards, two touchdowns and a career-high four interceptions that contributed to Chicago's five turnovers.
- Cornerback Jaylon Johnson flipped momentum with a 67-yard pick-six in the third quarter that put the Bears ahead 24-13 and helped offset Chicago's offensive mistakes.
- Luther Burden III left with a head injury late in the fourth quarter and then fumbled, which set up Bucky Irving's go-ahead touchdown and Mayfield's two-point conversion that tied the game; Irving finished with 97 rushing yards and two TDs.
- The win moves Chicago to 7-2 and extends its streak to four games while Tampa Bay falls to 3-6; the Bears must address turnover trouble and the Buccaneers must find more consistent passing after a defense-led showing that still left them short.
