Jay Cutler (2009, 2010, 2015)
Bob Avellini (1977)
Billy Wade (1962)
Caleb Williams reaction leaving the field!

09.11.2025 21:04 β π 6 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Fourth-quarter magic from Caleb Williams with the 17-yard TD run.
4 plays, 53 yards in 1:06
And just like that, it's Bears 24, Giants 20
Welp! CJGJ is back in and sacks Russell Wilson for a loss of 11

9 plays, 91 yards in 2:17 (without needing to use a timeout)
Giants 20, Bears 17
Touchdowns or bust from here on out. No choice. Letβs see what the team is made of.
09.11.2025 20:41 β π 1 π 1 π¬ 0 π 1Sure looked like Bears DT Gervon Dexter saved a touchdown with that one-armed tackle of Russell Wilson.
New York adds a field goal.
Giants 20, Bears 10. 10:19 4Q
Russell Wilson comes in, and the Giants run all over the Bears. A goal-line stand holds them to a field goal.
10 plays, 79 yards in 5:15
Giants 20, Bears 10
Bears run same play that OZ dropped but this time to Luther Burden and he hauls it in for a nine-yard gain
09.11.2025 20:07 β π 10 π 1 π¬ 0 π 1Really precise hit by CJGJ on Jaxon Dart to pop that ball out. Got his arm and momentum. Nashon Wright recovers and the Bears take over just as Giants were getting into the red zone.
