Bears fans have already buried C.Williams, the season, and Soldier Field after losing to J.McCarthy of all people.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
N.Wright's 74-yard pick-six gave Chicago a 22-point swing and what felt like a stolen game, then J.McCarthy methodically gave it all back — a TD to A.Jones, the two-point conversion to A.Thielen, and a 14-yard keeper to seal it. The final snap, a lateral from R.Odunze to D.Moore ending in a fumble, was a fitting punctuation. The defense forced the takeaway. C.Williams couldn't cash any of it in. That's the part fans won't let go.
