Bears Beat Buccaneers on Santos’ Last-Second Field Goal

Caleb Williams connected with Colston Loveland for a 38-yard catch late in the game, putting Cairo Santos in position to hit a 38-yarder as the clock ran out. The kick gave the Chicago Bears a 27-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 8 in Chicago.

Loveland was forced out of bounds at Tampa Bay’s 16-yard line with 40 seconds remaining. Williams then took two kneel-downs before Santos made the winning kick, his second field goal of the night, in front of a crowd of 60,470.

The victory came despite a turnover-heavy performance by Chicago. The Bears gave the ball away five times, including four interceptions by Williams, a career high. Williams nevertheless made the late connection with Loveland after Baker Mayfield had rallied Tampa Bay in the final minutes.
