Fourth-and-goal play from the one…

The Bears' offensive line is in real trouble
Despite expectations in a favorable matchup against a shorthanded Colts defensive line, the Bears struggled to establish the run game, leading to quarterback pressures and an ineffective offensive strategy.
Caleb Williams is improving, but also unlucky
Quarterback Caleb Williams showed promise by throwing for over 200 yards, but he also faced two interceptions. The offense only began to find its rhythm in the fourth quarter.
