The Chicago Bears survived a chaotic, turnover-plagued battle to escape with a 27-24 overtime victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, capitalizing on Miami's late-game miscues in a contest that swung wildly until the final whistle. Quarterback Case Keenum delivered the decisive spark off the bench, completing 8 of 10 passes for 80 yards and two crucial touchdowns—including a 4-yard strike to Deion Hankins that tied the game late—while Tyson Bagent managed the offense efficiently with 103 passing yards and a score despite absorbing two sacks. The Bears' defense, led by Austin Booker's three sacks and a relentless pass rush, forced two critical fumbles and held Miami to just 4.2 yards per play, but it was Patrick McMorris' 20-yard interception return in the fourth quarter that shifted momentum for good. Running back Kyle Monangai's 22-yard kickoff return in overtime set up Cairo Santos' game-winning 57-yard field goal, capping a day where Chicago's special teams and opportunistic defense outweighed their own offensive inconsistencies.

Miami's undone efforts were highlighted by Tahj Washington's explosive 53 receiving yards and Ollie Gordon II's 39-yard catch, but two lost fumbles—including one by Gordon—and Quinn Ewers' struggles (5-of-18, 91 yards) doomed their chances. The Dolphins' ground game showed flashes, with Gordon punching in a touchdown and Jaylen Wright adding another, but costly penalties (10 for 68 yards) and an inability to sustain drives (just 26:50 possession time) proved fatal. For Chicago, the win keeps their playoff hopes alive, while Miami's self-inflicted wounds raise questions about their ability to close out tight games as the season heats up.
