Halfway through the first quarter, it looked like the Chicago Bears were going to run away with Sunday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But things changed very quickly in Soldier Field.

Three out of four of Chicago’s second-quarter possessions ended in an interception from quarterback Caleb Williams, the first game of his NFL career with at least three interceptions. Despite Williams’ picks, the Bears went into halftime with a 17-6 lead over the Buccaneers.

But Tampa Bay cut into Chicago’s lead during their first possession of the second half. A 58-yard pas from Baker Mayfield to Tez Johnson set the Buccaneers up two yards away from the end zone. Running back Bucky Irving was able to punch it in for a touchdown, further cutting

into the Bears’ lead by making it 17-13.

On Chicago’s next drive, they had a 91-yard kickoff return negated by a penalty. They proceeded to go three-and-out with Williams going one for three on the drive. Both of his incompletions were misthrows on his part.
