Stock up, stock down: Chicago Bears-Atlanta Falcons review

The Chicago Bears secured a hard-fought victory over the Atlanta Falcons in a game that saw them dominate most of the action before a late rally by the Falcons’ backups. The Bears’ defense was particularly sharp, with defensive end Kyler Gordon delivering a standout performance, recording three sacks, two forced fumbles, three tackles for loss, and two quarterback hits.

On offense, quarterback Caleb Williams took control from the opening snap, posting an 83.3% completion rate, 305 passing yards, and a touchdown—highlighting the significant improvement since his return to the lineup. Special teams also made an impact, as punter Tory Taylor showed consistency with well-placed kicks, including muffed returns that disrupted Atlanta’s momentum.

Meanwhile, center Garrett Bradbury struggled against the Falcons’ defensive line, allowing significant interior pressure, while kicker Cairo Santos faced scrutiny after missing his third field goal in his last four attempts, dropping his season accuracy to 72.7%. Wide receiver Jahdae Walker contributed on both sides of the ball but was penalized twice, including a costly roughing-the-kicker call that extended Atlanta’s final drive.
