Caleb Williams reveals a big mistake with DJ Moore about an interception for a loss

The Chicago Bears pushed their Divisional Round battle against the Los Angeles Rams into dramatic overtime after a signature snap from Caleb Williams. With the game on the line on fourth-and-4, Williams delivered an incredible touchdown pass to Cole Kmet, a play that saw the quarterback backtrack nearly 30 yards before blasting into the end zone from the 40-yard line.

His improbable connection, which had a completion probability of less than 18 percent, reflected the resilient spirit the Bears displayed during an 11-6 NFC North winning season under head coach Ben Johnson. Despite falling behind, Williams once again showed the flashes that have defined his sophomore campaign, sending Soldier Field into a frenzy and forcing overtime in a classic postseason showdown.

The momentum quickly shifted in overtime after a critical error during a potential game-winner. Chris Emma reported on X that Caleb Williams turned to intercept in overtime, stating: “Just a miscommunication between (It’s DJome Moeure) and me. I tried to flatten it on the safety and he kept it vertical from what I saw at the time.”

This breakdown proved fatal as Rams safety Kam Curl intercepted the pass intended for Moore at the Los Angeles 22-yard line. The turnover ended Chicago’s possession and allowed the Rams to march down the field for a 42-yard game-winning field goal, bringing a heartbreaking conclusion to the Bears’ magical postseason after initially winning the overtime coin toss.

Statistically speaking, the game was a defensive struggle punctuated by individual brilliance. Williams finished the night with 257 yards and two touchdowns, but also had a career-high three interceptions, including the decisive pick in overtime. While the Bears’ defense held the league’s best offense to just 20 points, Chicago’s offense struggled to convert its 417 yards into consistent scoring.

Despite the 20-17 loss, the season remains a significant step forward for the franchise, marked by their first league title since 2018 and numerous fourth-quarter comebacks. The focus now is on refining the chemistry between Williams and his primary weapon to avoid the kind of miscommunication that ended their championship dreams in the closing moments of the Divisional Round.
