Quarterback Caleb Williams tacked on a touchdown of his own while connecting with tight end Cole Kmet on a 28-yard score.
The Bears have made it five wins in a row, and they have inched even closer to becoming the top seed in the NFC.

It will be a tough task at hand, as the Bears play the Green Bay Packers (8-3-1) twice, the San Francisco 49ers (8-4), and the Detroit Lions (7-5) in the final stretch of the regular season.
After a convincing win on Friday night, nobody is saying the Bears won't stop their winning streak.
It seems that the sky is the limit after winning nine of their last 10.
