Caleb Williams outduels friend and rival Drake Maye as Bears beat Patriots

• New England Patriots 24-30 Chicago Bears

• Bears QB throws for 308 yards and two TDs

Caleb Williams threw for 308 yards and two touchdowns, and the Chicago Bears cooled off Drake Maye and the New England Patriots with a 30-24 win on Thursday night.

Williams was 22 of 33 passing in his second game back after being sidelined by a hamstring injury. He became the first Bears quarterback to throw for more than 300 yards in consecutive games since Mitch Trubisky had a three-game run in 2018.
