Chicago Bears vs. Jacksonville Jaguars: A Touchdown Tea Party
By: Your Humble Commentator, Channeling the Comedic Greats
Well, well, well! Grab your crumpets and settle in, because it seems like the only team with a worse record than the Chicago Bears is the Jacksonville Jaguars, and let me tell you, it was a bit like watching someone fall off a unicycle—hilarious yet tragic. The Bears took it to the Jags in a raucous display of athleticism and a little bit of British flair, downing Jacksonville 35-16 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Talk about a cheeky bit of out-of-region fun!
Caleb Williams, the golden boy of the NFL, the No. 1 overall draft pick, decided to bring the house down with an impressive four touchdown passes. Two went to Keenan Allen, who seemed to celebrate like he was at a proper tea party, pretending to sip a cup of Earl Grey after his third-quarter score. I mean, nothing screams ‘I’ve made it!’ like scoring a touchdown and sipping imaginary tea!
And how about Cole Kmet? The rookie tight end took on an even greater burden than hauling in touchdowns; he had to be an emergency long snapper! I can only imagine him thinking, “Touchdowns are nice, but have you ever tried snapping the ball while someone bigger than you is bearing down?” It’s like asking a cat to fetch—a bit outside the comfort zone!
With this win, the Bears have now won three games in a row for the first time since 2020. That’s right, folks! They’ve managed to gather their wits and their wins, potentially ruining the perfectly miserable weather in Chicago with some unexpected football sunshine.
On the flip side, the Jaguars started the game like a team possessed, or perhaps just eager to show off their shiny new helmets. But alas, their first drive ended with a field goal after Gabe Davis dropped what would have been a beautiful pass in the end zone—classic football blunders! It’s like preparing a gourmet meal only to accidentally serve it with a side of humiliation.
And speaking of classic blunders, let’s talk about the performances! Williams, the Bears QB, completed an astonishing 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards, with four touchdowns and one interception. Almost sounds like my dating life—smooth sailing until that one mishap that leaves me querying my life choices!
Trevor Lawrence, the Jaguars quarterback, wasn’t exactly a slouch himself, completing 23 of 35 passes for 234 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. So really, both teams had their moments, but one was obviously prepping for a championship while the other was aiming for the next reality TV disaster.
In conclusion, this game was a delightful exhibition of touchdowns, tea time celebrations, and the occasional cringe-worthy moment—much like a family dinner where Uncle Bob brings out his old guitar. The Bears may finally be back on track, but let’s hope they’ve stashed away enough enthusiasm to sustain the season while the Jaguars might want to consider a job swap with a cricket team. Better luck next time, Jags!
LONDON (AP) — Caleb Williams threw four touchdown passes — two to receiver Keenan Allen and two more to tight end Cole Kmet — and the Chicago Bears dispatched the Jacksonville Jaguars 35-16 on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
Apart from the great performance of the rookie quarterback, Kmet had to take emergency charge of the long snappers. The Bears (4-2) won their third straight game for the first time in nearly four years.
Allen led the Bears’ celebrations, pretending to have a cup of tea, after his 9-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. His second score gave Chicago a 28-10 lead at the start of the quarter. D’Andre Swift dove from a yard out for another score.
The Jaguars (1-5) hit the ground running, but Gabe Davis dropped a pass in the end zone — after committing a false start — and Jacksonville settled for a field goal on its first possession.
Williams, the No. 1 overall pick in the latest NFL draft, completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards with four touchdowns and one interception. He also had 56 yards on four carries.
Trever Lawrence completed 23 of 35 passes for 234 yards, two touchdown passes and one interception for the Jaguars.
Chicago had not won three in a row since the end of the 2020 season.
