What happened: Caleb Williams went back to Colston Loveland on fourth down to extend Chicago's drive during Thursday night's matchup with New England. Rather than looking elsewhere after Loveland dropped an earlier pass, Williams trusted his target to secure the conversion with possession on the line.

Why it matters: Going back to Loveland in a high-leverage spot underscores Williams' commitment to keep feeding him whenever he creates separation. Extending drives is essential for Chicago to keep pace after New England finished the first half with a touchdown.

What to watch: Watch how frequently Williams looks for Loveland on money downs over the remainder of Thursday night's contest.
