Chicago Bears Caleb Williams

With quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Drake Maye on opposite sides, the NFL world was already excited for the Chicago Bears vs. New England Patriots Thursday Night Football clash. The Bears would ultimately come out on top 30-24, but the Patriots kept clawing their way back throughout the game.

Williams completed 22-of-33 passes for 308 yards and two touchdowns. In turn, Maye completed 24-of-31 passes for 321 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Whenever either quarterback is on the field, their play will be watched like a hawk.

Beyond just Williams and Maye, each franchise has their eyes set on making a Super Bowl run in 2026. The Bears, at 5-2, and the Patriots, sitting 4-3, are still on track to reach the playoffs. Thursday Night Football gave both teams a chance to see where they stand against a top contender.

Fans turned up in droves to witness the battle. Which is why the Bears and Patriots have just set history.

Amazon Prime has been broadcasting Thursday Night Football games since 2017. The Bears-Patriots matchup was the second-most watched all time, via Kevin Fishbain of the Athletic.

“With 19.86 million average viewers, Bears-Patriots was the second most-watched Thursday night game on Prime,” Fishbain wrote.

The highest-watched Amazon Thursday Night Football game remains the Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas in 2025. Ironically enough, Chris Oladokun started at quarterback for the Chiefs in the matchup, not Patrick Mahomes.

In this case, the Bears have no problem with second place. Chicago still game away with the victory. And now 20 million football fans have a reason to believe the franchise can be a legit Super Bowl contender.

The Bears will remain in primetime over their next two games, Monday Night Football vs. the Seattle Seahawks before Sunday Night Football vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even if they aren’t setting records, Chicago is looking to put on a show.
