Here are the key numbers that defined the Bears’ thrilling Week 16 victory.

It marked:
• The first time in 2025 a team allowed no red-zone TDs on 5+ drives
• Chicago’s first such performance since Dec. 3, 2017

6 — Straight Home Wins

The Bears have now won six consecutive home games, their longest single-season streak since 2005.
Head coach Ben Johnson became just the second coach in Bears history to win six straight home games in his first season, joining Paddy Driscoll (1956).
8 — Takeaway Streak Continues
Chicago has forced a turnover in eight straight games, the longest active streak in the NFL.
Saturday’s takeaway:
• Nahshon Wright stripped Josh Jacobs inside the Chicago 5
• Tremaine Edmunds recovered the fumble
The Bears now lead the NFL with:

• +21 turnover differential

9 — Nahshon Wright’s Impact

Wright has been directly involved in nine takeaways, the most in the NFL.
Season totals:
• 5 interceptions
• 3 fumble recoveries
• 2 forced fumbles
He joins Wilber Marshall (1986) as the only Bears defenders since 1978 to post that stat line.
25 — Santos Makes History
Cairo Santos has now made 25 field goals of 50+ yards as a Bear — the most in franchise history.
Against Green Bay:
• 46 yards
• 51 yards
• 43 yards
Perfect on the night.

84 — Late-Game Scoring Machine

The Bears have scored 84 points in the fourth quarter and overtime this season — more than any team in the NFL.
22 — Interception-Free Starts for Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams has now started 22 games without throwing an interception, second in the NFL behind Jalen Hurts (23) during that span.
Career numbers with Chicago:
• 43 TD passes
• 12 interceptions
• 3.6:1 TD-INT ratio (second-best since the 1970 merger, min. 500 attempts)
10 — First-Drive Defense Dominance
The Bears have allowed just 10 points on opponents’ opening possessions all season, the fewest in the NFL.
Even more impressive:
• No first-quarter points allowed in their last four games
• Includes both matchups vs. Green Bay
8.5 — Onside Kick Odds Defied
Only 8.5% of onside kicks had been recovered by the kicking team this season — until Josh Blackwell recovered one late Saturday night.
That recovery directly led to Williams’ game-tying TD pass with :24 remaining.

35 — Longest Walk-Off TD in Decades

Williams’ 46-yard walk-off TD to DJ Moore was Chicago’s longest walk-off touchdown since 1990, when Jim Harbaugh hit Neal Anderson for 50 yards in overtime.

24 — A Comeback Decades in the Making

Saturday marked the first time since 2001 that the Bears rallied from a double-digit deficit inside the final two minutes to win a game.
The last time?
Nov. 4, 2001 vs. Browns, capped by Mike Brown’s OT pick-six.
