Rhamondre Stevenson recorded a 48-yard rushing touchdown as time expired in the first half to reduce the New England Patriots' deficit against the Chicago Bears.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson scored a 48-yard rushing touchdown as time expired in the first half of Thursday night's game at Soldier Field. Stevenson navigated through the Chicago Bears defense to reach the end zone, narrowing the scoring gap heading into the break.

ESPN reports that Bears quarterback Caleb Williams returned to the lineup for his second start following a period of absence due to a hamstring injury. On the opposing sideline, Patriots quarterback Drake Maye entered the Week 7 contest seeking his 22nd win. A victory would allow Maye to surpass Drew Bledsoe and Steve Grogan for the most wins by a franchise quarterback within their first three seasons.

This matchup marked the beginning of the NFL's Week 7 schedule. Prior to this game, both Bledsoe and Grogan were tied for the team record with 21 wins during their initial three-year tenures.
