CHICAGO – – Caleb Williams led four scoring drives, D’Andre Swift had 165 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown, and the Chicago Bears held off the Los Angeles Rams 24-18 on Sunday.

Jaquan Brisker intercepted Matthew Stafford with about a minute left after the Bears punted on the previous play, helping Chicago (2-2) end a two-game skid.

Williams threw for 157 yards and a touchdown after setting a Bears rookie record by passing for 363 yards last week in Indianapolis. The No. 1 overall draft pick and former Heisman Trophy winner from Southern California was 17 of 23 on a 9-yard TD pass to DJ Moore in the third quarter.

Swift had his best game since signing with the Bears in March. He was a Pro Bowler with Philadelphia last season and broke off a 36-yard touchdown run that made it 24-15 in the fourth quarter. He finished with 16 rushes for 93 yards and seven catches for 72 yards.

Roschon Johnson ran for a 1-yard touchdown in the second quarter after Montez Sweat sacked Stafford deep in Los Angeles territory.

The Bears won for the first time since beating Tennessee in Week 1 and snapped a three-game skid against the Rams (1-3), who came off a fourth-quarter rally to beat San Francisco.

Stafford completed 20 of 29 passes for 224 yards. But his late interception on first down at the Los Angeles 8 ended any potential comeback.

Tutu Atwell had 82 yards receiving with Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Puka Nacua (knee) sidelined, and Kyren Williams ran for 94 yards and a touchdown.

The Rams drove to the Chicago 7 early in the third quarter, but settled for a Joshua Karty field goal that cut the score to 10-9.

The Bears then went 74 yards, with Caleb Williams finding Moore in the back of the end zone, pushing the lead to eight.

The Rams answered with a 70-yard drive. Kyren Williams scored from the 3 on the first play of the quarter to make it 17-15, but the 2-point conversion pass failed.

Chicago responded again and went 70 yards. Caleb Williams hit Cole Kmet up the middle for a clean 22-yard pass, and Swift leaped over a swerving linebacker Michael Hoecht to the line on the next play to launch his long touchdown run, his first score since signing with the Bears in low season. .

Karty cut the score to 24-18 with a 52-yard field goal.
