Chicago won 31-28 over Pittsburgh at Soldier Field on November 23, 2025, improving to 8-3 atop the NFC North while the Steelers dropped to 6-5 and into a tie with Baltimore in the AFC North. Caleb Williams threw three touchdowns and Montez Sweat recorded two sacks and two forced fumbles to keep the Bears in front; Mason Rudolph, starting in place of Aaron Rodgers who had broken his wrist the previous week, finished 24-of-31 for 171 yards in a loss that came down to two failed fourth-down conversions in scoring position.

Pittsburgh ran for 186 yards on 36 carries and held the ball for over 33 minutes, numbers that would win most games. Chicago’s passing attack produced seven plays of 15 or more yards against just two for Pittsburgh, and those explosive completions offset everything the Steelers built on the ground. A 17-play Steelers scoring drive pulled it to 28-31 with 6:27 left, but Jaquan Brisker tipped a fourth-down pass with under 30 seconds remaining to end Pittsburgh’s last attempt, sending the Bears to 8-3 and the Steelers toward a defining final stretch of the regular season.
