Rookie Caleb Williams tossed a career-best four touchdown passes to lead the Chicago Bears to a 35-16 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
Williams continued to impress, completing 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards and an interception. He also ran for 56 yards on four attempts.
His four scoring tosses helped the Bears (4-2) win their third game in a row.
It was Williams' third multi-touchdown performance in his past four starts. He finished with a 124.4 passer rating.
Jacksonville (1-5) failed to put together back-to-back wins after snapping a four-game losing streak last week.
Trevor Lawrence completed 23 of 35 passes for 234 yards and threw two touchdown passes and an interception. The pick led to a 1-yard touchdown by D'Andre Swift early in the fourth quarter to give the Bears their final points of the game.
Chicago recorded four sacks, including three on Lawrence before he was replaced with 3:21 left by Mac Jones.
Swift paced the Bears on the ground with 91 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries.
Williams spread the ball around effectively to eight different pass catchers. Tight end Cole Kmet led Chicago with five catches for 70 yards and two touchdowns, including two in the first half to stake the Bears to a 14-3 lead at intermission.
Keenan Allen also caught five passes for 41 yards and two touchdowns in the second half to help the Bears break the game open.
Lawrence's two touchdown passes went to Gabe Davis, who caught five passes for 45 yards.
Lawrence's top target, however, was tight end Evan Engram, who caught a game-high 10 passes for 102 yards after missing the Jaguars' previous four games due to a hamstring injury.
The Bears have a bye next week before visiting the Washington Commanders on Oct. 27.
The Jaguars will play in London again next Sunday, this time at Wembley Stadium against the New England Patriots.
