The full story

The Chicago Bears beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-24 on Sunday night at Soldier Field when Cairo Santos kicked a 38-yard field goal as time expired, moving Chicago to 7-2. Quarterback Caleb Williams threw a career-high four interceptions, three of them in the second quarter, and the Bears committed five turnovers in all. Facing second-and-nine from their own 46 in the final minute, Williams hit tight end Colston Loveland for 38 yards, and Loveland was pushed out of bounds at the Tampa Bay 16. After two kneel-downs, Santos kicked before a crowd of 60,470. Baker Mayfield had rallied the Buccaneers in the closing minutes, and Williams also threw two touchdown passes. It was Chicago's first win with five or more turnovers since a 23-13 victory over Minnesota on Dec. 3, 2006. Coach Ben Johnson said the team did not play as well as it can but expects its best football in the second half of the season. Williams said he does not get gun shy and will keep throwing, even if he throws "100 picks" in a game. The Bears have won four straight.

The Guardian US, on the left, leads with a team that played one of its worst games and still won, then walks through the final drive, the crowd and the 2006 turnover comparison. It features Johnson's forward-looking quote alongside Williams' "not my identity" remark. Fox News, on the right, opens with the turnover disparity, noting that it "shouldn't go unnoticed" and that a top quarterback needing to be smarter is hardly a bold take. It counts the second-quarter picks and highlights Williams' "100 picks" vow, with less detail on the winning drive in its opening. Both agree on the score, the four interceptions and Williams' defiance. They differ in framing: the Guardian treats the win as the point, while Fox treats his risk-taking as the story. ESPN's coverage largely matches the Guardian's on Williams' confidence. CBS Sports differs by folding the game into a Week 10 roundup covering NFL receivers, Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders and the College Football Playoff race.
