Caleb Williams threw a career-high four interceptions moments after the Chicago Bears celebrated his NFL record for most consecutive games without tossing multiple interceptions.

On Sunday Night Football, with NBC's Noah Eagle on the call opposite Cris Collinsworth as Mike Tirico was absent due to a “health issue,” the Bears secured a 27-24 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Cairo Santos kicked the game-winning field goal to continue the Bears’ winning form.

Williams and Baker Mayfield both endured difficult days against stringent defenses, with the Bucs quarterback throwing for 243 yards and two interceptions - one of which was a pick-six to Jaylon Johnson. Meanwhile, Williams completed 22 of 37 passes for 279 yards and two interceptions, along with his turnovers.

It was an odd day for Williams, whose four interceptions were the most he has ever thrown in his career, be it in high school, college, or the NFL.

The performance was perhaps cursed by the Bears. In the second quarter, the franchise took to social media to celebrate Williams’ NFL record of 36 consecutive games without throwing multiple interceptions.

Moments later, facing 2nd-and-21 following an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on rookie receiver Zavion Thomas, Williams tried to force a deep middle throw into double coverage toward Rome Odunze, but Bucs safety Tykee Smith easily intercepted the pass at the Tampa Bay 3-yard line. Then, on his next offensive snap after the Bears defense forced a turnover on downs, Williams rolled out and tried to throw the ball out of bounds, only for Bucs cornerback Zyon McCollum to make the interception at the Tampa Bay 18-yard line.

Williams’ third interception came late in the second quarter. In an almost identical scenario to his second pick, Tampa Bay sent pressure, forcing Williams to flee the pocket and attempt another throwaway toward Kalif Raymond down the right sideline. But McCollum made a diving catch along the boundary at the Chicago 43-yard line, setting up a Bucs field goal before halftime.

Finally, in the third quarter, Williams threw a short pass to the left intended for Luther Burden III, but Buccaneers cornerback Jacob Parrish got a hand on the ball to tip it into the air, and linebacker Alex Anzalone snagged the pick at the Chicago 43-yard line before being pushed out at the 37.

Still, Williams told reporters he will not stray from his gun-slinging ways even when the wheels come off, as they did against the Bucs. His big-play ability paid off late; Williams threw a deep ball to tight end Colston Loveland for a 38-yard gain that set up Santos’ game-winning field goal.

“I’m going to throw until I can't throw anymore,” Williams said. “That's how I live. I work my tail off to be in this position. I'll never not throw the ball.

“I could throw 100 picks in one game. If it comes down to it, I'm going to throw that pass that I did to [tight end] Colston [Loveland], or if it's [a] tighter window, I'm going to rip it in there. That's how I grew up. That's who I am. I don't get gun-shy. That's not me, that's not my identity, that's not who I am.

“ With that, I'm going to keep grippin' it, keep rippin' it, and Coach calls it, it's time to go make a play.”

The 7-2 Bears have a bye week before facing the 3-5 New Orleans Saints at Soldier Field on Sunday, Nov. 22.
