The Chicago Bears responded quickly to an opening touchdown from the Cincinnati Bengals, and Caleb Williams made a bit of history doing it.
Williams and the Bears engineered a strong opening drive, going 12 plays and 73 yards to tie things up at 7-7 with the Bengals, but their method for scoring their touchdown was a unique one thanks to a Ben Johnson trick play.
On the double-reverse, wide receiver D.J. Moore got the ball and lofted a pass to the end zone, where Williams hauled in his first career catch.
According to Stathead, Williams is just the third Bears quarterback to have a receiving touchdown in a game, and the first to do so since Matt Barkley grabbed a touchdown catch against the Minnesota Vikings on January 1, 2017.
Quarterback Jim McMahon had a pair of receiving touchdowns with the Bears, including in the 1985 season against Washington.
The Bears will hope this game goes better than when Barkley made his touchdown, as Chicago was blown out in that contest.
