It was a win for the Bears, but turning the ball over five times is a brutal pill to swallow.

In an MVP-or-bust season for Caleb Williams, Sunday night delivered pure whiplash against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — called by emergency replacement Noah Eagle after Mike Tirico was sidelined by an undisclosed health issue.

Conventional wisdom says coughing up five turnovers gets you beat every single time, but Chicago found a way to grind out a 27-24 victory. Williams' first career four-interception game nearly doomed Chicago. But even in a messy performance, Caleb proved he can survive three quarters of disastrous football and still win.

After the Bears built an early 14-0 lead, the offense stalled, opening the door for Tampa Bay to pull even.

Just when a flat-footed Chicago squad looked completely stalled out late in the third quarter, cornerback Jaylon Johnson made Baker Mayfield pay for his recklessness, baiting the quarterback into a crushing 67-yard pick-six that kept momentum swinging like a pendulum.

Yet when everything threatened to collapse after a late Tampa Bay surge, Williams rallied.

With 2:51 left and the game knotted at 24, he put together an eight-play, 49-yard drive — highlighted by a 38-yard strike to Colston Loveland — to set up Cairo Santos for the walk-off 38-yard field goal.

Afterward, Williams was entirely unmoved by the turnover-heavy night.

"I'm going to throw until I can't throw anymore," Williams said on the postgame podium. He wrapped up his night with 279 yards, two touchdown passes and four picks.

For Tampa Bay, Mayfield choked away the defense's impressive outing. Sacked four times with zero touchdowns, his 243-yard meltdown proved Tampa Bay's QB1 experiment is running on fumes. With an upcoming bye week, the 7-2 Bears get two full weeks to let this five-turnover scare fade into the rearview mirror.

Hollywood’s weirdest man has entered the fray and the casting decision that has dragged on and on suddenly feels exciting for the first time

Why does anyone want to play James Bond? The franchise seems to spit out its leads, leaving them wrecked and disillusioned. “I’d like to kill him,” Sean Connery famously said of Bond, that “dull, prosaic English policeman”; it was Daniel Craig who finally managed to do it, a fifth film torturously pulled out of him because Barbara Broccoli agreed to knock him off. As soon as his Bond took a missile to the bonce, Craig dived right into playing all the oddballs he could get, with Benoit Blanc as palate cleanser. Bond might never be an actor’s most interesting role, but it is always the one that leads the obit.

With the auditions for the next Bond under way, reports recently emerged that the official contenders were Jack Lowden, Josh O’Connor, Callum Turner and a mysterious fourth actor who no one seemed to know. But over the weekend multiple sources confirmed to the Hollywood trades that the mysterious fourth – and fifth – contenders were Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult. Both great actors, but one of them has made a casting decision that has dragged on, and on, and on, suddenly feel genuinely exciting for the first time.
