Good morning, Chicago.

The Steelers had one last chance, taking over at their 20-yard line with 1:29 remaining.

Needing a field goal to tie, quarterback Mason Rudolph marched the Pittsburgh offense to midfield, but his fourth-down pass was tipped at the line of scrimmage by Bears safety Jaquan Brisker and fell incomplete.

The Bears held on for a 31-28 victory in front of 59,658 fans at Soldier Field — their eighth win in nine games and fourth in a row — to remain atop the NFC North standings at 8-3. On a day when the Steelers were playing without quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Bears defense forced two key turnovers that the offense turned into points. That proved to be the difference.

Receiver DJ Moore totaled 64 yards on five catches with two touchdowns. QB Caleb Williams finished 19 of 35 passing for 239 yards and three touchdowns, also connecting with tight end Colston Loveland for a score. Running back Kyle Monangai ran for 48 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries.
