That was Eberflus’ feeling as well. He emphasized it to Brown, who built a game plan that fed Moore a game-high seven catches for 62 yards.
The Bears also converted 56.3% of their third downs (9 of 16). Not bad for a team ranked 31st (31.88%). They also converted all three fourth-down attempts.
Meanwhile, the Bears didn’t turn the ball over for a third straight game, something they haven’t done since 1979. Williams went a fourth straight game without an interception, the longest by a Bears quarterback since Brian Hoyer in 2016, and the longest by a Bears rookie quarterback since at least 1950.
Williams also was an improbable clutch performer at the end. Trailing by 1 with time running out, he escaped pressure and hit Odunze for a 16-yard gain on third-and-19. Then, on fourth-and-3, he hit Odonze’s back shoulder perfectly for a 21-yard gain. Then he threw a blitz-beater to Allen for 12 yards to set up a 46-yard field goal attempt with three seconds left.
The Packers blocked the kick. The Bears lost. And what should have been Williams’ first game-winning drive in the NFL became another loss and perhaps an easier path to some Vikings fans taking Da Bears a tad or two more for granted than maybe they should.
