Everything about that game on Sunday was insane. Nothing about it made sense. The Chicago Bears made every mistake possible on special teams, including an opening kickoff touchdown and allowing an onside kick recovery. The defense allowed 40-year-old Joe Flacco to throw for 470 yards and four touchdowns. In almost every circumstance imaginable, that is a game the Bears lose every time. Yet they didn’t. Caleb Williams accounted for four touchdowns, including three through the air. Kyle Monangai led a ground attack that had 283 yards, and the offense piled up 47 points.
Games like that defy all logic and often change the record books in unexpected ways. Sure enough, some wild numbers emerged after the dust settled. Let’s start with this gem. Apparently, that was the Bears’ first victory in franchise history where they allowed 42 points or more. Remember, they’ve existed for over a century.
It gets better. Colston Loveland is the first Bears rookie tight end to cross 100 yards in a game since Mike Ditka in 1961. Caleb Williams is the first QB with two receptions in a game since 1953. He’s also the first QB ever to have multiple passing touchdowns, multiple receptions, and a receiving touchdown. Loveland also had the third-longest TD reception by a rookie in the final two minutes since 1970.
The Chicago Bears are doing uncharacteristic things.
Last season, the team scored 310 points total in 17 games. Through the first eight games of 2025, they have scored 218. They are on pace for 456 this year, which would tie the franchise record set by the 1985 championship team. Nothing about this Chicago Bears team makes sense, and that is probably a good thing. The old ways of doing things stopped working a long time ago. This franchise has struggled to join the modern era for years. At last, it seems they’ve found their way thanks to the arrivals of Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson.

One thing is for sure. That game won’t be forgotten for a long, long time. It was exciting, agonizing, and filled to the brim with memorable moments. The Bears haven’t provided anything like it in ages. It’s rather fitting they broke some strange records along the way.

Your basic math is wrong. 218 points through 8 games equals 218 ÷ 8 = 27.25 points per game. 27.25 x 17 regular season games = 463.25 points for the season. If the Bears record for points in the regular season is 456 by the 85 Bears, this would put them on pace to set the record. Granted the regular season only consisted of 16 games, instead of 17 games, back in 85, but the point still stands as an entire paragraph in this article provides inaccurate information. I notice this often on this site.
Yes it was a crazy game. Glad to see Caleb played better. There was a play near the end of the first half where Caleb alerted into the run and it led to a red zone score. This is good quarterbacking that you want to see every week. Caleb also connected on a variety of throws and his completion rate would have been much better except for some drops by his receivers. I know the Bengals D isn’t great but anything that boosts confidence can be helpful in a player’s development.
All due to my HC Ben. Told ya.
