The primary was on fourth down within the last seconds of regulation, dropping a dime to Jahdae Walker within the nook of the tip zone as he was blitzed. The opposite was his absolute dime of a game-winner to DJ Moore in time beyond regulation.
There are nonetheless inconsistencies with the younger quarterback however man, he’s able to making some particular, particular performs.
The Bears have a coach. And a QB. And, in the end, organizational alignment.
That makes them a contender in my eyes.
Cool second for town of Chicago.

Practically 60 yards within the air. In that wind. Walkoff. Holy sh*t.

Typically it’s a must to step again and admire how wonderful these guys are. The throw/protection/catch on that play is simply insane.

The Bears have a number of magical wins this season however this victory was pure sorcery.
Caleb Williams, take a bow. It is a DOT.

CALEB WILLIAMS CALLS GAME! THE BEARS WIN IN OVERTIME! WHAT HAVE I JUST SEEN?!

Soldier Area is buzzing and Malik Willis quiets the group for a second, connecting with Jayden Reed for a achieve of 31 yards into Bears territory.
He stepped up within the pocket and fired a strike. Willis has been spectacular tonight.
I ponder if Ben Johnson gave any thought to going for the win there …
If Jordan Love was at quarterback for the Packers, I actually suppose he might need however the Bears should suppose they’ll be capable to cease Malik Willis and in some way escape with a win.
That concept is about to be examined.
That is the Bears first time beyond regulation recreation of the season.
