The Chicago Bears ended the three-game winning streak of the New England Patriots with a gutsy victory, 30-24, at Soldier Field on Thursday.
The Bears improved to 5-2, while the Patriots fell to 4-3.
Luther Burden III was instrumental in the tight win, scoring a big touchdown on four receptions for 130 yards. He found the end zone with 14 seconds left in the first half after catching Caleb Williams 24-yard pass. It gave the Bears extra momentum heading into the break, 20-7. They never relinquished the lead in the second half.
After the game, the 22-year-old Burden explained why he is nicknamed “Problem Child.”
“When I get the ball, it's gonna be a problem. Especially with too much space. I might go the distance,” said the second-year wide receiver in the video posted by CHGO Bears.
Burden logged his first touchdown of the season. In seven games, he has 31 receptions on 48 targets for 361 yards.
The Bears will visit the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8.
