The Chicago Bears had an impressive showing against the Atlanta Falcons in a 31-23 win to improve to 4-2 on the season ahead of a three-game prime-time stretch.
The Bears got massive boosts from the returns of quarterback Caleb Williams and cornerback Kyler Gordon, who were the biggest stars of this game. Chicago scored on their first two possessions of the game, going up 14-0, and looked to be in command early. While the Bears defense was missing three key starters in Montez Sweat, T.J. Edwards and Tyrique Stevenson, they allowed just seven points going into the fourth quarter before starters were pulled and the Falcons mounted a comeback that fell just short. Despite a rough fourth quarter all around, Chicago was able to hang on for their fourth win of the season.
Following the game, the Bears social team released a video inside the winning locker room, where head coach Ben Johnson addressed his team after their impressive Week 6 victory.
Head coach Ben Johnson handed out two game balls to a pair of returning starters who played key roles for their respective units in the win. Cornerback Kyler Gordon and quarterback Caleb Williams. Gordon had a monster showing in his first game action in nine months, totaling three sacks and two forced fumbles. Meanwhile, Williams returned after a three-game absence and had his best passing showing of his young career completing 30-of-36 passes for 305 yards and one touchdown.
