Bears overcome mistakes, beat Bucs on game-ending field goal

The Chicago Bears defense stepped up to counter Caleb Williams' struggling performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Williams had thrown four interceptions throughout the game, two of which came in quick succession during the second quarter. However, the defense managed to counteract the quarterback's mistakes. Cornerback Jaylon Johnson intercepted a pass thrown by Baker Mayfield, racing all the way to the end zone for a pick six, extending the Bears' lead to 24-13.

Mayfield had intended to throw the ball to tight end Cade Otton, but his decision proved to be a costly one. Johnson's interception was his first of the season and only his second career touchdown. Both quarterbacks have been making questionable decisions, with Williams recording four picks compared to Mayfield's two. The Bears' pass defense, bolstered by the recent acquisition of Jeffery Simmons, has been on a winning streak, securing four interceptions in their last three games following just two picks in their initial six games.

With Williams' poor performance, the Bears defense may need to be on its toes to overcome the Buccaneers in their upcoming Sunday night matchup.
