Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams was 1 yard short of getting the first touchdown pass of his career on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts struggled in the first half of their Week 3 matchup on Sunday, with both teams combining for only seven points despite each compiling more than 150 total yards. The Colts had a 7-0 lead at the half but Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams nearly tied the game with what would have been the first touchdown pass of his career.
Williams was lucky enough to spike the ball at the Colts’ 45-yard line for a chance at the Hail Mary throw. On 4th-and-2, and one second remaining on the clock, Williams threw a deep pass to the end zone. The ball was batted around and toward the field of play when D.J. Moore caught it. Moore tried to reach across 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 hit the locker room.
But through the first two quarters against the Colts, he’s still searching for a passing touchdown. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
