CHICAGO — On an afternoon when the passing attack looked discombobulated and drop-prone, Caleb Williams made some magic happen with his legs.

The Chicago Bears quarterback scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 17-yard scramble with 1:47 remaining Sunday at Soldier Field. That came not long after Williams set up the previous Bears score with a 29-yard scramble to the 2-yard line. On the next play, he connected with wide receiver Rome Odunze for a 2-yard touchdown.

The Bears erased a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit and beat the New York Giants 24-20 on a snowy day at Soldier Field. They improved to 6-3 with their sixth win in seven games.

Williams finished 20 of 36 for 220 yards and one touchdown and ran for 63 yards and a touchdown on eight carries.

Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart had the Giants offense humming and built a 20-10 lead early in the fourth quarter. But it was then that Dart was pulled off the field and evaluated for a concussion.

The Giants ruled Dart out for the remainder of the game. He finished 19-of-29 passing for 242 yards and rushed six times for 66 yards and two touchdowns.The Giants were then forced to turn to backup Russell Wilson.

After that, the momentum slowly started going the Bears’ way.

The Bears took possession at their 9-yard line, down by 10 with a little more than six minutes remaining. Williams led the offense on a 91-yard drive, the first of two touchdown drives that would seal the game.

On Williams’s 29-yard run to the 2, he scrambled to his left and saw green grass. He took off running and cut inside for extra yardage rather than run out of bounds. He took a hit on the play but shrugged it off and connected with Odunze for the touchdown moments later.

On the next Giants possession, Bears nickel back C.J. Gardner-Johnson sacked Wilson on third down. An errant punt gave the Bears the ball near midfield with 2:53 to go.

The offense needed just four plays to go 53 yards and take the lead on Williams’ 17-yard touchdown run, and after one first down, Wilson and the Giants turned the ball over on downs.
