Sunday Night Football: Bears overcome five giveaways, beat Bucs 27-24 - NBC Sports
The Chicago Bears defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-24 in a high-turnover game during Sunday Night Football. Despite quarterback Caleb Williams throwing four interceptions, the Bears secured the win to move to a 7-2 record.
Why it matters
The game highlights the volatility of young NFL quarterbacks and the impact of defensive play on game outcomes in the professional football season.
It was a wild one in Chicago, but the Bears were able to pull out a 27-24 victory over the Buccaneers and move to 7-2 on the season.
Caleb Williams and the Bears’ offense started out white hot, but an interception midway through the second quarter threw off the unit for nearly the rest of the night. Williams ended up tossing four interceptions — the most in a single game he’s had in his college or pro career.
But even with five giveaways — Luther Burden also had a fumble in the fourth quarter — the Buccaneers scored just 10 points off of them. Tampa Bay couldn’t turn a blocked punt into points either, despite getting the ball at midfield.
