Chicago Bears Summary
Full Transcript
The Chicago Bears secured a dominant 31-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns at Soldier Field, marking a significant milestone as head coach Ben Johnson achieved his 10th win. In frigid conditions, with temperatures at 8 degrees and wind chills dropping to minus-21, the Bears showcased a well-rounded performance across all phases of the game.
Quarterback Caleb Williams threw for 242 yards and two touchdowns, including a remarkable 22-yard touchdown pass to DJ Moore, which had a completion probability of just 16.1%. The Bears' defense was relentless, contributing to the Browns' struggles, leading to an early fourth-quarter interception by Zah Frazier.
This win propelled the Bears to the top of the NFC North standings, as they now prepare to face the Green Bay Packers next week. However, the game wasn't without its challenges, as wide receiver Rome Odunze was ruled out shortly before kickoff due to an aggravated foot injury, and Luther Burden suffered an ankle injury during the game.
Fans braved the cold to support their team, making this one of the coldest games in Soldier Field history, while the atmosphere was electric with excitement from both players and spectators alike.
