The Bears were up 41-27 when DJ Moore finished the game into the end zone with 4:53 left in the game. Chicago nearly sealed the game when Terrell Edmunds intercepted Flacco and ran back for what was thought to be a touchdown. However, officials determined that Edmunds was down due to contact and denied the 96-yard return.
Chicago went three on its next series. Flacco then led the Bengals on a four-play, 55-yard drive that ended with a touchdown pass to Noah Fant. The Bengals needed the ball to bounce on their onside kick attempt, and it did.
Flacco then needed just six plays to find Andrei Iosivas and score the go-ahead goal. The momentum was firmly on the Bengals’ side.

Williams got the ball back with less than a minute left, and he didn’t look very good. He threw two incomplete passes before running 14 yards to extend the drive.
The second-year quarterback threw a dart to rookie tight end Colston Loveland in the middle of the field. Loveland rebounded off two defenders and ran for a score. The 58-yard play gave the Bears the lead and ultimately the victory.
The two teams combined for 1,071 total yards and 89 points on 141 plays.
Williams was 20-for-34 with 280 passing yards, two passing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown. Williams actually had two receptions in the game.
Bears running back Kyle Monangai, a former Rutgers standout, had 26 carries for 176 yards. Loveland finished with six receptions for 118 yards and two touchdown receptions.
Flacco had one of the best statistical games of his career. He was 31 of 47 with 470 passing yards, four touchdown passes and two interceptions.
