"It was hard to tell Williams had just led his fifth game-winning drive of the season, tying the Denver Broncos' Bo Nix for the most in the NFL. Williams likely was more focused on what the Bears could have done better. The drive, such as it was, featured three runs by D'Andre Swift that covered just nine yards, but it achieved its goal of eating up the clock. Santos' kick as time expired was set up by Devin Duvernay's 56-yard kickoff return."
"After losing seven one-score games during Williams' rookie season last year, the Bears have turned around their late-game luck in large part due to their quarterback. Williams is the only QB with 4+ touchdowns and zero turnovers in the final 2 minutes of either half this season. It's a big reason why the Bears are 5-1 in one-score games and currently atop the NFC North with a 7-3 record. Among the reasons for Williams' success is his ability to make plays with his legs."
Caleb Williams led a game-winning drive that ended with Cairo Santos' 48-yard field goal after Devin Duvernay's 56-yard kickoff return set up the final kick. Williams appeared focused on team execution rather than celebration despite tying for the NFL lead in game-winning drives. The final drive relied on clock-consuming runs by D'Andre Swift that totaled nine yards. Williams has grown more comfortable in clutch moments, showing lower heart rate and composure. After losing seven one-score games last season, the Bears have improved late-game outcomes largely because of Williams' turnover-free scoring in the final two minutes and his mobility.
