Summary

  • 48 yards from the end zone, Stevenson turned Drake Maye’s last-play dump-off into a touchdown as the first-half clock expired, pulling New England within 20-14 at Soldier Field.
  • 14 seconds earlier, Chicago had stretched its lead to 20-7 on Luther Burden III’s score, and the Patriots appeared headed for halftime down two possessions.
  • A.J. Brown’s 18-yard catch moved New England near midfield, where Maye avoided a Hail Mary and fed Stevenson on a play Next Gen Stats said had only a 4.3% chance to score.
  • The touchdown came as Bears defenders over-pursued and failed to finish the tackle, flipping the halftime mood in Chicago while New England tried to extend its three-game winning streak.
