Bears notebook: Rookie QB Caleb Williams continues run of solid fourth quarters

One good sign from Bears quarterback Caleb Williams against the Commanders, despite one of his worst overall statistical performances, was that something eventually clicked and he gave his team a chance to win late.

The Bears took a 15-12 lead with 25 seconds left before falling 18-15 on a Hail Mary pass from Jayden Daniels to Noah Brown on the final play. The Bears scored their first points on D’Andre Swift’s 56-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, then Williams drove them to the Commanders’ 1-yard line midway through the fourth quarter — Doug Kramer fumbled — and led a 62-yard touchdown drive near the end.
