Here are some notable numbers and stats from the Bears' thrilling 47-42 win over the Bengals Sunday at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati:
47
Points scored by the Bears, their most since Sept. 30, 2018, when they beat the Buccaneers 48-10 at Soldier Field. It was their most points in a road game since Nov. 4, 2012, when they defeated the Titans 51-20 in Tennessee.
576
Total yards by the Bears, their most since Dec. 7, 1980, when they compiled 594 in a 61-7 drubbing of the Packers at Soldier Field. In addition, it was their sixth most yards in franchise history and second most in a road game.
176
Yards rushing by Kyle Monangai, the second most by a Bears rookie, trailing only the 188 yards that Anthony Thomas gained Oct. 21, 2001, coincidentally also in Cincinnati. It was the 18th most yards in franchise history and the most since Nov. 6, 2022, when quarterback Justin Fields ran for 178 yards against the Dolphins.
2
Players in Bears history with at least 26 rushes and 176 yards in a game. Monangai on Sunday joined the legendary Walter Payton, who accomplished that feat six times during his illustrious Hall of Fame career.
64
Years since a Bears rookie tight end caught multiple touchdown passes and compiled more than 100 yards in a game. On Sunday, Colston Loveland had two TD catches and 118 yards. He joined Hall of Famer Mike Ditka, who caught three TD passes and accumulated 190 yards Nov. 12, 1961, against the Packers.
2,734
Career receiving yards by Cole Kmet, the second most by a Bears tight end behind Ditka's 4,503. Kmet's 10-yard reception Sunday enabled him to pass Emery Moorehead (2,730). Unfortunately, Kmet suffered a concussion on the play and was forced to exit the game.
4
Late game-winning drives that quarterback Caleb Williams has engineered in two NFL seasons with the Bears. All four have come in his last six road games—in the 2024 finale in Green Bay and this year in Las Vegas, Washington and Cincinnati.
1
Players in NFL history with at least 275 passing yards, 50 rushing yards and 20 receiving yards in a game. Williams became the first individual to accomplish that trifecta with 280 passing yards, 53 rushing yards and 22 receiving yards.
9
Interceptions by Tremaine Edmunds since joining the Bears in 2023, the most by any NFL linebacker. Edmunds' pick in the fourth quarter Sunday was his fourth of the season, tying his career high set in 2023. In addition, his 14 career interceptions are the most by a linebacker since he entered the league with the Bills in 2018.
40
Years since a Bears quarterback threw multiple TD passes and caught at least one TD pass in a game. On Sunday, Williams became the franchise's first player to achieve that feat since Jim McMahon Sept. 29, 1985, in a win over Washington at Soldier Field.
8
Players that have caught TD passes from Williams in his two seasons with the Bears. Loveland and Olamide Zaccheaus both joined the list Sunday. Rome Odunze has hauled in eight TD passes from Williams, DJ Moore and Keenan Allen have snared seven apiece, followed by Kmet with five, Loveland with two and D'Andre Swift, Luther Burden III and Zaccheaus with one apiece.
3
Consecutive games in which defensive end Montez Sweat has recorded a sack. Sweat dropped quarterback Joe Flacco Sunday, increasing Sweat's season total to a team-leading 4.0.
69
Yards covered on a Tory Taylor punt Sunday, his longest in two seasons with the Bears. It was his longest punt since a 70-yarder Nov. 5, 2022, when he played for Iowa in a game at Purdue.
1
Career TD passes thrown by Moore, whose 2-yard scoring toss to Williams Sunday came on a trick play on fourth-and-goal. Moore was previously 0 of 2 as a passer in eight NFL seasons. In three years at Maryland from 2015-17, he completed 3 of 5 passes for 36 yards with no TDs or interceptions.
5
Games in which the Bears have scored points on their opening possession, with three touchdowns and two field goals. Moore's TD pass to Williams on the Bears' first drive Sunday tied the score 7-7. The Bears have now scored points in the first quarter in all eight of their games this season and in 15 of 16 periods in the first half.
5
Wins the Bears have recorded this year, matching their total from all of last season with nine games still to go.
100
Career games played by Sweat, defensive tackle Andrew Billings and linebacker T.J. Edwards, all of whom reached that plateau Sunday.
67
Percentage of red-zone drives that resulted in Bears touchdowns. After scoring on only 5 of 16 trips inside the 20 in their previous four contests (31.2%), the Bears generated four TDs on six red-zone possessions Sunday.
2
Defensive backs who have recorded a sack in their Bears debut. On Sunday, nickel back C.J. Gardner-Johnson joined safety Al Afalava, who accomplished the feat in the 2009 season opener in Green Bay.
