Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 05:02 · Archive

The Chicago Bears defeated the New England Patriots 30-24 in an NFL matchup on Thursday night.

Caleb Williams threw for 308 yards and two touchdowns as the Chicago Bears defeated the New England Patriots 30-24 on Thursday night, halting the Patriots' three-game winning streak.

Williams was 22 of 33 passing in his second game back after a right hamstring injury. He became the first Bears quarterback to throw for more than 300 yards in consecutive games since Mitch Trubisky in 2018. Luther Burden had four catches for 130 yards for Chicago (5-2), and Colston Loveland had a 12-yard touchdown reception.

Drake Maye, Williams' longtime friend selected third overall in the 2024 NFL draft to Williams' first overall pick, was 24 of 31 for 321 yards and two touchdowns but threw a costly interception in the end zone in the first half. New England (4-3) had won three consecutive games with Maye throwing 10 touchdowns and one interception during that streak. Rhamondre Stevenson had five catches for 93 yards and a touchdown for the Patriots.

Chicago's Cairo Santos kicked a career-long 58-yard field goal with 1:34 left, matching the franchise record. After that, Maye drove New England into range for a 47-yard field goal with 37 seconds remaining, but Chicago recovered the ensuing onside kick.
