The Chicago Bears pulled off a dramatic 25-24 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4, with a blocked field goal in the final moment as head coach Ben Johnson and his squad went to 2-2.
It was a game of two halves for quarterback Caleb Williams, as Chicago managed just nine points before halftime. But the former USC standout came alive after the break, sparking the offense when it mattered most.
Williams found Rome Odunze for a 27-yard touchdown strike in the third quarter, then guided another scoring drive late in the fourth, capping it off with a touchdown with 1:34 remaining to put the Bears in front for good.
Bears' Ben Johnson talks after the win
After the Bears came away with a tightly contested win, Johnson spoke with the media and didn't hold back his remarks on how his team had responded to this pressure.
"Finding a way in the fourth quarter to come out on top," Johnson said (h/t Marquee Sports Network). "I just thought that was outstanding for us. So proud of our guys, proud of the locker room. I know it's an ugly game at times."

Moreover, Johnson noted that this game, especially in the second half, was a fight between two teams that didn't want to fall to 1-3 and get to that 2-2 record.
"I thought I'd give a lot of credit to the Raiders," Johnson added. "They played their tails off, which we knew they would. Coach [Pete] Carroll is such a good coach, and they have so many good players on their side that it was going to be a dogfight.
"They were desperate for a win, and we were desperate for a win as well. It came down exactly like we thought it might. Like I said, that's a huge character win for our team, and I just love it for them."
