Big Dill Sports coming in hot from a chilly Soldier Field, where the Bears pulled a late Houdini to clip the Giants 24–20. Chicago came in as slight home favorites — 5–3 against a 2–7 New York squad — but this one turned into a fourth‑quarter fistfight after Big Blue built a 20–10 cushion with 10:21 to go. (espn.com)

Then the rookies rang the bell. Caleb Williams orchestrated a 91‑yard march sparked by a bulldozing 29‑yard keeper, and capped it with a dart to Rome Odunze for a 2‑yard TD at 3:59. After the defense stacked sacks on Russell Wilson (hello, Montez Sweat and C.J. Gardner‑Johnson), Williams did it himself — a slick 17‑yard touchdown scamper with 1:54 left to slam the door. The final ledger: Williams 20/36, 220 yards, 1 TD; 8 rushes, 63 yards, 1 TD, while Odunze did grown‑man work with 6 grabs, 86 yards and that score.

Tip your cap to the Bears’ skill crew balance, too. D’Andre Swift — questionable all week with a groin/personal designation — suited up and churned out 98 scrimmage yards (80 rushing, 18 receiving), while rookie Kyle Monangai muscled in the game’s first touchdown. Colston Loveland came up clutch down the stretch with chunk gains to keep the chains humming, and Cairo Santos stayed steady with a 22‑yard FG and a clean sheet on PATs. (sbnation.com)

On the other side, the Giants found something with Jaxson Dart. The rookie was crafty and tough — 19/29, 242 yards through the air and a pair of keepers for six, including a 24‑yard burst out of halftime — and Tyrone Tracy Jr. (14 for 71) plus Darius Slayton (4 for 89) kept Chicago stressed. But settling for a 19‑yard field goal at the 1‑yard line early in the fourth left the door cracked, and the Bears kicked it off the hinges.

Big Dill of the Game: Caleb Williams — ice in the veins, juice in the legs, and the closer’s gene to finish it. That’s a comeback with swagger. This is Dillon “Big Dill” Smith, reminding you: around here, ballin’ is a big dill.
