Caleb Williams threw for 308 yards and two touchdowns as the Chicago Bears defeated the New England Patriots 30-24 on Thursday night. Williams was 22 of 33 passing in his second game back after being sidelined by a hamstring injury. He became the first Bears quarterback to throw for more than 300 yards in consecutive games since Mitch Trubisky in 2018.

Drake Maye had 321 passing yards and two touchdowns for the Patriots but threw a costly interception in the end zone in the first half. His error forced New England into chase mode for much of the game. Rhamondre Stevenson had five catches for 93 yards and a touchdown for the Patriots.

The Bears' Luther Burden had four catches for 130 yards, and Colston Loveland caught a 12-yard touchdown reception. Cairo Santos kicked a career-long 58-yard field goal with 1:34 remaining, matching the franchise record. New England attempted a comeback, with Andy Borregales kicking a 47-yard field goal with 37 seconds left, but Chicago recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran down the clock.

Chicago improved to 5-2, while New England fell to 4-3. The Patriots had won three consecutive games before this loss.
