How the Bears won

• Cairo Santos kicked a 38-yard field goal as time expired to win it, after Caleb Williams found Colston Loveland wide open down the left sideline for 38 yards to the Tampa Bay 16 with 38 seconds left. [source]
• The Bears won despite five turnovers: a career-high four interceptions by Williams plus a Luther Burden III fumble. Williams finished 22-of-37 for 279 yards, two touchdowns and four picks. [source]
• Chicago led 14–0 after one quarter on a 9-yard Williams-to-Rome Odunze touchdown (Odunze's first of the season) and a 56-yard catch-and-run score by Burden, who finished with seven catches for 97 yards. [source]
• Three of Williams' interceptions came in the second quarter as Tampa Bay's pressure took over; Zyon McCollum picked him off twice, with Tykee Smith and Alex Anzalone adding one each. [source]
• Jaylon Johnson's 67-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter, with a Montez Sweat block clearing the path, pushed the lead back to 24–13 and was the play that kept the Bears in front. [source]
• Baker Mayfield rallied Tampa Bay with a 6-yard Bucky Irving touchdown run and his own two-point scramble to tie it 24–24 with 2:51 left; Mayfield finished 18-of-32 for 243 yards and two interceptions and was sacked four times. [source]
• The two top rushing teams in the league entering the weekend got little on the ground: Tampa Bay ran for 126 yards, Chicago for 72 on 22 carries with a long of 9. [source]
• The Bears defense held the Bucs to 2-of-12 on third down, picked Mayfield off twice (Cam Lewis and Jaylon Johnson), and recorded four sacks; Jeffery Simmons had one of the night's loudest moments with a sack of Mayfield. [source]
• A 92-yard Zavion Thomas kickoff return touchdown was wiped out by a holding penalty on D'Marco Jackson. [source]
• The win was Chicago's fourth straight and capped a three-game prime-time run (Thursday, Monday, Sunday night); the Bears go into their Week 10 bye at 7–2. [source]
• Attendance at Soldier Field was 60,470. [source]

The chant after this one

Every win ends the same way: Johnson gathers the room, calls for quiet, and leads the four lines one at a time with the whole team answering. This was chant No. 20 of the Johnson era.

Game ball: Jaylon Johnson. See the full tracker.

• Jaylon Johnson got a game ball for the 67-yard pick-six that put the Bears back up 24–13 in the third quarter, the play that kept the night from getting away. [source]
• Johnson's postgame message was about survival rather than style: he told reporters it is hard to win with five turnovers and the team found a way to do it anyway, and credited the defense for rising to the occasion. [source]
• The team's own postgame clips from Sunday night carried the captions "We gotta stay hot" and "Our best football is yet to come." [source]
• The full player media session from the locker room is on the Bears' channel as a separate video. [source]
