Bears edge Bucs with game-winning field goal despite Caleb Williams’s sloppy night

Cairo Santos kicked a game-winning 38-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Chicago Bears to a 27-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Soldier Field. Despite quarterback Caleb Williams throwing a career-high four interceptions, the Bears improved to 7-2 on the season after Williams connected with Colston Loveland on a crucial 38-yard pass during the final minute.

Tampa Bay had tied the game late in the fourth quarter when Bucky Irving scored a six-yard touchdown and Baker Mayfield converted a two-point attempt following a Luther Burden fumble. Williams finished with 279 yards and two touchdowns alongside five team turnovers, while Mayfield passed for 243 yards and two interceptions for the Buccaneers.
