The Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts struggled in the first half of their Week 3 game on Sunday, with both teams combining for just seven points despite both teams totaling over 150 yards.

The Colts led 7-0 at halftime, but Bears quarterback Caleb Williams nearly tied the game with a pass that would have been the first touchdown of his career.

Williams was lucky enough to throw the ball on the ground at the Colts 45-yard line for a chance to throw the Hail Mary. On fourth-and-2 with one second left on the clock, Williams threw a long pass into the end zone. The ball was knocked around and thrown toward the field when DJ Moore caught it.

Moore attempted to cross the goal line for a touchdown, but was stopped by two Colts defenders. Williams was one yard away from a touchdown, but instead completed a 44-yard pass as the two teams headed to the locker room.
