Bears allow last-second touchdown to Patriots before halftime

In an NFL matchup on October 23, 2026, the Chicago Bears entered halftime with a 20-7 lead over the New England Patriots. However, they surrendered a last-second touchdown, allowing Rhamondre Stevenson to score on a 48-yard pass from Drake Maye with just seconds left in the second quarter.
