caleb-btn-2024-week-12

Here are some notable numbers and stats from the Bears' 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings Sunday at Soldier Field:

2,365

Yards Caleb Williams has passed for this season, a Bears rookie record. The No. 1 overall pick in the draft broke the mark Sunday that was held by Mitchell Trubisky with 2,193 yards in 2017. Williams already owned the club rookie record for completions (now 233). With two touchdown passes Sunday, Williams increased his season total to 11 and tied the Bears rookie record set by Charlie O'Rourke in 1942.

3

Onside kicks recovered by the kicking team on 31 attempts in the NFL this season, a 9.9% success rate. Tarvarius Moore's recovery of Cairo Santos' onside kick Sunday was the first by the Bears since Dec. 12, 2021, against the Packers in Green Bay.

5

Consecutive games without an interception by Williams, a Bears rookie record and the longest streak by a Bears quarterback since Brian Hoyer's six consecutive contests in 2016. Williams has now attempted 193 straight passes without an interception, a franchise rookie mark and the most since Hoyer's 200 consecutive attempts in 2016.

106

Receiving yards by DJ Moore, a season high, including a 10-yard TD. Moore caught seven passes on seven targets for the second straight game.

4

Red-zone takeaways by the Bears defense this season, tied for third most in the NFL. On Minnesota's first possession Sunday, safety Jonathan Owens forced and recovered a fumble by former Packers teammate Aaron Jones on second-and-goal from the 1. With Jaquan Brisker (concussion) on injured reserve and Elijah Hicks (ankle) inactive Sunday, Owens made his first start of the season.

100

Career regular-season games played by linebacker Tremaine Edmunds. At 26 years, 206 days, he became the youngest player in NFL history to reach the century mark. Edmunds registered nine tackles and one pass breakup Sunday.

129

Field goals made by Santos as a member of the Bears, third most in franchise history behind Robbie Gould (276) and Kevin Butler (243). With field goals of 49 and 48 yards Sunday, Santos surpassed Bob Thomas (128).

272 and 3,535

Third-down receptions and third-down receiving yards in Keenan Allen's career, the most among active NFL players in both categories. Allen caught four passes for 33 yards on third downs Sunday, generating two first downs.

33.1

DeAndre Carter's average yards gained on 13 kickoff returns this season, second best in the NFL. Carter's 55-yard kickoff return late in Sunday's game helped spark the Bears' rally, setting up Williams' 1-yard TD pass to Allen.

17

Points scored by the Bears in the fourth quarter Sunday, their most since Nov. 8, 2021, when they tallied 21 points in a 29-27 loss to the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
