The Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts struggled in the first half of their Week 3 game on Sunday, with both teams combining for just seven points despite both accumulating more than 150 total yards.

The Colts led 7-0 at halftime, but Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams nearly tied the game with what would have been his first career touchdown pass.

Williams was fortunate to hit the ball at the Colts’ 45-yard line for a chance at the Hail Mary throw. On 4th-and-2, with one second left on the clock, Williams threw a deep pass into the end zone. The ball was batted around and into the playing field when DJ Moore caught it.

Moore tried to reach over the goal line for the touchdown, but two Colts defenders stopped him. Williams was 1 yard short of the score. Instead, he had a 44-yard completion as the two teams reached the locker room.

Williams was 16-of-27 with 213 passing yards and an interception. He also had one sack. The passing yardage total already surpasses what he did in his first two games. He had 93 yards in a win over the Tennessee Titans and 174 yards in last week’s loss to the Houston Texans.
