When the Bears got the ball back without allowing the Steelers to answer the second DJ Moore touchdown, Kyle Monangai punched it in for six points, which all but sealed the victory for the Bears. The defense made a couple of nice plays late in the game, but this touchdown was needed as it eventually served as the winning points.

Ahead of the Steelers' Week 12 matchup vs. the Bears, Chicago is not expected to activate top defensive backs Kyler Gordon and Jaylon Johnson.

Chicago's victory was largely the byproduct of Caleb Williams' three touchdown passes and a defense that forced two turnovers that led to 14 points. Williams out-dueled Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph, who played in place of Rodgers, who is dealing with a fractured left wrist.
