CHICAGO — On second-and-goal from the Buccaneers’ 21, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams rifled a ball from a clean pocket into double coverage intended for receiver Rome Odunze. Instead, safety Tykee Smith made an interception – Williams’ second of the season.
Then it happened again on the next possession when Williams tried to throw it away.
And again two possessions later.
And again three possessions after that on a pass intended for receiver Luther Burden III that popped straight into the air.
For the first time in Williams’ life, he’d thrown four interceptions in one game.
He’d only thrown three in a game on three occasions: once in high school, once while in college at Southern California against Notre Dame and then in last year’s NFC divisional round loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Sunday night’s performance was the first of its kind to yield a win.
