Cairo Santos kicked a 38-yard field goal as time expired, and the Chicago Bears beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-24 on Sunday night at Soldier Field, surviving five turnovers and a late Tampa Bay comeback to win their fourth straight game.

Chicago (7-2) led 14-0 in the first quarter and 24-13 in the third, but Tampa Bay tied the game at 24 with 2:51 remaining. After Luther Burden III fumbled a short third-down catch at the Chicago 17, Bucky Irving scored on a 6-yard run, his second touchdown of the game, and Baker Mayfield ran in the two-point conversion.

Caleb Williams answered. On second-and-9 from the Chicago 46, Williams found a wide-open Colston Loveland for 38 yards down the sideline to the Tampa Bay 16 with about 40 seconds left. Two kneel-downs set up Santos, whose kick split the uprights as the clock hit zero.

Williams completed 22 of 37 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns, but he also threw a career-high four interceptions, three of them in the second quarter, and Chicago’s five turnovers made the Bears the first team to win a game with five or more giveaways since December 2006. Williams threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Rome Odunze on the opening drive and a 56-yard score to Burden, who broke tackles on third-and-8, as Chicago scored twice in the first quarter. Burden finished with seven catches for 97 yards before leaving the game for a concussion evaluation after his fourth-quarter fumble.

The Bears’ defense delivered the night’s biggest swing. After Williams’ fourth interception set Tampa Bay up at the Chicago 37 late in the third quarter, Jaylon Johnson stepped in front of a Mayfield pass to Cade Otton and returned it 67 yards for a touchdown, his first interception of the season and the second pick-six of his career, to make it 24-13.

Mayfield completed 18 of 32 passes for 243 yards with two interceptions for the Buccaneers (3-6). Irving rushed 20 times for 97 yards and two touchdowns, scoring from 2 yards out to open the second half after a 58-yard catch by Tez Johnson, who finished with 76 receiving yards. Chase McLaughlin kicked three field goals for Tampa Bay, and Zyon McCollum intercepted Williams twice as the Buccaneers turned Chicago’s five turnovers into only 10 points.

Santos also made a 25-yard field goal in the second quarter for Chicago, which heads into its bye week at 7-2 and hosts New Orleans on November 22. Tampa Bay also has its bye next week before visiting Detroit on November 22.
