Overview
- Caleb Williams, who returned Sunday from a Week 2 hamstring injury, completed 30 of 36 passes for 305 yards and threw a 14-yard touchdown on Chicago’s opening 10-play drive.
- The scoring pass was Williams’ 50th regular-season touchdown and his 50-to-14 touchdown-to-interception ratio makes him the third quarterback to reach 50 TDs with 15 or fewer interceptions.
- Chicago built a 31-7 lead but committed 12 penalties for 133 yards and allowed Atlanta a fourth-quarter rally that trimmed the final margin to 31-23.
- Cornerback Kyler Gordon, activated from PUP before the game, recorded three sacks and two forced fumbles including a late strip that helped seal the win, while Falcons linebacker Kendal Daniels was carted off with a neck injury and later evaluated at Grady Hospital.
- The victory improved the Bears to 4-2 and sets a quick turnaround with a Thursday home game against New England, even as coach Ben Johnson’s team must clean up penalties and late-game management to sustain momentum.
