I feel like we're in a weird world where the average Dem partisan, engaged voter is better informed than most of their representatives

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

Today was Caleb Williams' fourth game-winning drive of the season, tied for the most in a season in Bears history (per @stathead.com). The others:
Jay Cutler (2009, 2010, 2015)
Bob Avellini (1977)
Billy Wade (1962)

Fourth-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

I still don’t think they pull this out but it is still nice to see that you’ve got a QB who hulks up in crunch time, and also that Odunze and Loveland are right there to make it work.

Ain't over yet. Can the defense get a stop?

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. Let’s see what the team is made of.

Sure 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

Really 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.
