- Bears secured a 31-28 victory over the Steelers.
Caleb Williams orchestrated a decisive victory for the Chicago Bears, throwing for 239 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-28 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers were significantly impacted by the absence of their starting quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, who was sidelined with a broken wrist. Despite facing numerous defensive injuries themselves, the Bears managed to maintain control throughout the game.
The Bears' offense found success early, with DJ Moore being a primary target for Williams, catching two touchdown passes. While the Steelers' defense initially made plays, including a strip-sack by T.J. Watt, they ultimately faltered, allowing the Bears to build a lead. Turnovers proved costly for Pittsburgh, with the Bears converting takeaways into points.
Pittsburgh's defense showed cracks, particularly in their secondary, struggling against the Bears' passing game and Williams' mobility. Mason Rudolph, starting in place of Rodgers, led a comeback attempt, but critical mistakes, including a crucial fumble, hampered the Steelers' efforts. The Bears' defense ultimately sealed the win with a late stop.
