Bears QB Caleb Williams on coming up shy in OT vs. Rams: 'It's a frustration'

Our Summary

The Chicago Bears' 2025 season ended with a 20-17 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field. Quarterback Caleb Williams' late-game heroics, including a fourth-down touchdown pass to Cole Kmet, sent the game into overtime, but Williams' third interception ultimately allowed the Rams to secure a walk-off field goal for the win.

Throughout the season, the Bears frequently turned potential losses into victories, but missed opportunities in this game proved costly. Despite a strong defensive performance that limited Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and the team's high-powered offense, the Bears were unable to capitalize on their 417 total yards, converting only three of six fourth-down attempts and committing three turnovers.

Head coach Ben Johnson acknowledged the frustration of the loss but expressed optimism for the future, citing the resilience of Williams and the defense's late-season surge. Williams, reflecting on the game, emphasized the need to improve accuracy and communication with receivers during the offseason to ensure a stronger start next season.
