After Cairo Santos‘ 43-yard field goal cut the deficit to 16-9 with 1:59 to play in the fourth quarter, Josh Blackwell recovered the subsequent onside kick at the Bears’ 47.
Williams followed by completing 6 of 8 passes for 53 yards capped by a 6-yard TD pass to Jahdae Walker on fourth-and-4 to tie the score 16-16 with :24 to play. Williams beat a Packers blitz and found the undrafted rookie wide open in the right corner of the end zone.
The Bears won the overtime coin toss and elected to kick. The Packers reached the Chicago 36, but on fourth-and-1, a botched exchange between center Sean Rhyan and quarterback Malik Willis resulted in a fumble that running back Emmanuel Wilson recovered short of the line to gain, turning the ball over on downs.
After Kyle Monangai’s 11-yard run on third-and-3 sustained the Bears’ first possession of overtime, Williams rainbowed the game-winning TD pass to Moore, igniting a raucous celebration at Soldier Field.
