Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears were pushing to erase a seven-point deficit against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, but their late rally fell short after the quarterback threw a costly interception.

Williams took a shot on 4th-and-1 near the Packers’ line, but his throw to Cole Kmet was intercepted by cornerback Keisean Nixon. The pick sealed the defeat for the Bears and sparked frustration from veteran wideout DJ Moore.

The former USC passer released the pass while on the move, but Nixon read it perfectly and intercepted. He had an open Moore available, yet he forced a tougher throw instead, a decision that left the receiver visibly frustrated as he walked down the sideline.

Had the Bears scored and kicked the extra point, the game would have been tied. However, they went on to lose 28-21, making the moment even tougher for the fans.

Williams completed 19 of his 35 pass attempts for 186 passing yards, two touchdowns and an interception in the Week 14 game.

The defeat knocks the Bears down to second in the NFC North at 9-4, but they’ll get another shot at the Packers in two weeks at Soldier Field. Up next, Chicago plays the Cleveland Browns at home in Week 15, and Green Bay will face the AFC-leading Denver Broncos.

Caleb Williams blames himself for not throwing the perfect pass against the Packers

Caleb Williams nearly pulled off another late comeback for the Chicago Bears on Sunday, but his throw to Cole Kmet came up short and was intercepted by a Packers defender.

Speaking after the loss, the second-year quarterback accepted the blame, saying he should have made a better throw with just 22 seconds left.

"In those moments, it’s you know, a got-to-have-it-moment," Williams said. "And they had a guy trailing me, so I didn’t feel like I could go get it myself. I’ve just got to give Cole a better shot at it. I think next time, just extend him a little bit more and kind of lead him.

"But in those moments, you want to put the ball in play and trust your guy or try to have your guy go make a play, and just got to give him a better ball."

Before Sunday’s game, Williams had already led five fourth-quarter comebacks this season. The only other quarterback in the league with the same number is Denver’s Bo Nix.

Williams will look to guide the Bears forward against the Browns on Sunday as Chicago pushes for its first playoff appearance since 2020.
