Rookie QB Caleb Williams etching his name in Bears history

CHICAGO -- Six days after missing an open Keenan Allen streaking toward the end zone in Minnesota, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams took advantage of a second chance at the same play.

Nearing halftime of Chicago's Week 16 matchup with the Detroit Lions, Williams saw Allen throw a head fake and execute the same double move to create separation. This time, Williams didn't hesitate. He lasered a pass that Allen caught in stride for a 45-yard touchdown.

It was one of Williams' best throws of the season despite the Bears suffering their ninth straight loss.
