Bleacher Report
The Chicago Bears defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-24 at Soldier Field despite a barrage of turnovers, including four interceptions by Caleb Williams, and secured the win with a late 38-yard field goal. The victory, part of Chicago’s four-game winning streak, moves the Bears to 7-2 and into second in the NFC North, while the Buccaneers drop to 3-6 and slide in the NFC South standings. A rapid start featured Rome Odunze’s first-year TD catch and a 56-yard connection to Luther Burden III to vault Chicago to a 14-0 lead, but Williams and Mayfield both struggled with picks through the middle quarters. After a back-and-forth third, Jaylon Johnson’s 67-yard pick-six widened the gap, and Tampa Bay’s late surge was stalled by a crucial turnover and a Bears field goal to seal the win ahead of the bye week.
