Caleb Williams overcomes his four interceptions in Bears’ turnover mess to squeak by Buccaneers

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams threw a career-high four interceptions, but his late drive set up Cairo Santos’s field goal as time expired in a 27-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The victory extended Chicago’s winning streak to four and left the Bears 7-2, while Tampa Bay fell to 3-6.

The Bears led 24-16 before Luther Burden’s fumble helped Tampa Bay equalise at 24 with 2:51 remaining. Williams finished 22 of 37 for 279 yards and two touchdowns; Baker Mayfield passed for 243 yards, two interceptions and scrambled for a tying two-point conversion. Chicago’s Jaylon Johnson returned an interception 67 yards for a touchdown, while the two teams, both among the league’s leading rushing sides, managed 72 and 126 rushing yards respectively.
