Williams' OT Interception Ends Bears' Season; Suffers Finger Injury

Caleb Williams completed 23 of 42 passes for 257 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions, adding 40 rushing yards, in the Bears' 20-17 overtime playoff loss to the Rams. He delivered a crucial 51-yard TD pass to Cole Kmet late in regulation, forcing overtime, but his magic ran out with a game-ending interception. Williams also sustained an awkwardly bent finger on his throwing hand in the first quarter. Despite the painful exit, Williams and the Bears expressed a positive outlook for the future. He finished the regular season with 3,942 passing yards and 27 TDs.
