This was actually Odunze’s first touchdown of the season, since most of Chicago’s touchdowns have gone to Burden and tight end Colston Loveland. He actually had a target in the end zone two plays before the touchdown, but he bobbled the ball and caught it out of bounds.

Chicago had a good

mix of the run and the pass on their opening drive. Williams threw for 26 yards and also had 11 rushing yards. Running back D’Andre Swift had a few rushing attempts, and they also mixed in Salvon Ahmed, who is playing in his first NFL game since 2023.
