## Summary

The Chicago Bears beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-24 despite giving the ball away five times, including four interceptions by quarterback Caleb Williams. The late win showed how a turnover-prone performance nearly cost Chicago, but Williams still led a decisive final drive to secure victory.

Chicago led 14-0 before Tampa Bay levelled the score, and cornerback Jaylon Johnson returned a Baker Mayfield interception 67 yards for a touchdown. With 2:51 remaining and the game tied at 24, Williams drove the Bears 49 yards in eight plays, including a 38-yard completion to Colston Loveland, setting up Cairo Santos’s winning 38-yard field goal. Williams finished with 279 passing yards and two touchdown passes; Mayfield had 243 yards, no touchdowns and was sacked four times. The 7-2 Bears now have a bye week.
