The Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts struggled in the first half of their Week 3 matchup on Sunday, scoring just seven points combined despite both teams racking up over 150 total yards.

The Colts led 7-0 at halftime but Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams nearly tied the score with his first career touchdown pass.

Williams was lucky to get a spike at the Colts' 45-yard line, giving him a chance for a Hail Mary throw. On fourth down and two with one second left, Williams threw a deep pass into the end zone, which was batted around the field and caught by DJ Moore.

Moore tried to cross the goal line for a touchdown, but two Colts defenders blocked him, and Williams fell a yard short and instead completed a 44-yard pass as the teams returned to the locker rooms.

Williams completed 16 of 27 passes for 213 yards and one interception, and was sacked once. He has already surpassed his passing yards totals from his first two games, throwing 93 yards in a win over the Tennessee Titans and 174 yards in last week's loss to the Houston Texans.
