Caleb Williams TD pass gives Bears early 7-0 lead

The Chicago Bears struck early against Tampa Bay, with Caleb Williams orchestrating a methodical opening drive that culminated in a 7-0 lead. Williams showcased his dual-threat ability, extending plays with two scrambles—first a 7-yard gain on third-and-6 and later a 4-yard scramble to keep the offense alive.

His precision passing paid off when Rome Odunze broke free for a touchdown, capitalizing on a wide-open opportunity after a near-miss on an earlier attempt where Odunze initially fumbled the ball before securing it out of bounds. The touchdown marked Williams’ seventh of the season and Odunze’s first catch of the year, setting a strong tone for the Bears’ offense from the outset.
