Entering the final week of the regular season having lost 10 consecutive games, the Chicago Bears were determined to end their campaign on a high note to build momentum heading into the offseason. Trailing by a point with under a minute to go, and starting out on their own 20-yard line, they faced an uphill battle to accomplish that goal, but rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and two of his favorite targets, fellow rookie Rome Odunze and standout veteran DJ Moore, quickly moved the ball down to the 33-yard line, rushing up to spike the ball with just two seconds left on the clock. This set up the game-winning field goal attempt from 51 yards out, which kicker Cairo Santos delivered on, driving the ball through the uprights to end this contest 24-22 in Chicago's favor on Jan. 5, 2025.
