Caleb Williams Leads Bears to Dramatic Last-Second Win Over Commanders in Monday Night Thriller

In a thriller Monday Night Football game, the Chicago Bears topped the Washington Commanders 25-24 on a dramatic finish at Northwest Stadium. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams directed an eighth-play play-action that provided kicker Jake Moody with an opportunity to kick the game-winning 38-yard field goal as time expired.

The Commanders, led by Jayden Daniels, had taken a late lead on a touchdown pass to Zach Ertz, but a late fumble by Daniels on the following drive gave the Bears the break they were seeking. Williams showed calm under pressure by connecting on key passes to D'Andre Swift and DJ Moore, leading the Bears 36 yards on nine plays to win the game.

Moody was flawless, converting all four of his attempts at field goals, including 41, 48, and 47-yarders in the opener. Williams had 252 yards passing with a touchdown and Daniels had two touchdown passes but was plagued by turnovers.

The win is Chicago's third straight and improves their record to 3-2. Washington fell to 3-3, after a season of inconsistency. The game also renewed the developing rivalry between Williams and Daniels, both of the past few drafts' top draft picks, with Williams getting the victory this time.

Coming on the heels of playoff considerations, this thrilling conclusion may be the turning point for the Bears, who are building momentum under first-year head coach Ben Johnson.
