Caleb Williams led the charge for Chicago, throwing for 295 yards and two touchdowns, effectively orchestrating the Bears' offense. His standout performance was complemented by a balanced attack that kept the Dolphins' defense on their heels, while Miami's De'Von Achane rushed for 86 yards, and Paul Warfield made a significant impact with 155 receiving yards, but it wasn't enough to secure a win.
