This is the most complete guide you will find on the Jacksonville Jaguars vs Chicago Bears Match Player Stats series. Inside you will find full passing, rushing, and receiving player stats from every significant recent matchup, the all-time series record broken down by era, individual player cross-game analysis that no single box score site offers, and a full look ahead at the December 2026 Week 13 meeting at Soldier Field.
Chicago leads this series in every meaningful metric, but the Jaguars have shown they can compete when the execution is there. The 2024 London game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was a defining moment in this modern rivalry – and the numbers behind it tell a story worth reading.

Game 8 – December 27, 2020: Chicago 41, Jacksonville 17
This game carried unique storylines on both sides. The Bears needed a win to control their NFC playoff destiny, while the Jaguars – already at 1-14 – were playing for draft position. Losing their 14th straight game locked Jacksonville in as the team most likely to land the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 draft, which they used to select Trevor Lawrence. Mitchell Trubisky delivered an efficient performance and David Montgomery powered the running game as the Bears erupted for 21 straight third-quarter points.
Draft History Note: The Jaguars’ 14th consecutive loss in this game directly set up their selection of Trevor Lawrence with the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft – a decision that would define the franchise for years.

Game 9 – October 13, 2024: Chicago 35, Jacksonville 16 (London, NFL International Series)
This was the marquee matchup of the modern Bears-Jaguars series and one of the most talked-about games of the 2024 NFL London series. Played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, it featured a No. 1 overall pick battle between rookie Caleb Williams (Bears, 2024 draft) and Trevor Lawrence (Jaguars, 2021 draft). Williams won decisively, throwing four touchdown passes in what was then a career-best performance. The Bears improved to 4-2 and won their third straight game for the first time in four years. The Jaguars fell to 1-5, with head coach Doug Pederson’s job under serious scrutiny.
This game also produced one of the strangest individual performances of the 2024 season: Bears tight end Cole Kmet scored two touchdowns and was then thrust into emergency long-snapper duty when regular snapper Scott Daly suffered a knee injury. Kmet successfully snapped for each of Chicago’s remaining extra points and field goals – a feat so unusual that research revealed he was the first player to score a touchdown and then snap for the subsequent extra point since 2005.
London Game Context: This was the fifth time the Jaguars played in London in five years, making it a routine home-away-from-home. Despite that familiarity, the Bears controlled the game after a slow start and Jacksonville could not capitalize on their opening 14-play, 67-yard drive – settling for a field goal instead of a touchdown after Gabe Davis dropped an end-zone pass.

Caleb Williams: Breakout Performance Deep Dive
The October 2024 London game is best understood as the moment Caleb Williams announced himself as a legitimate No. 1 overall pick who was translating potential into consistent production. This was his best performance through six weeks of his rookie season.
| Caleb Williams Stat vs JAX | Value | Context |
| Completion Percentage | 79.3% (23/29) | Third consecutive game above 100 passer rating – first Bears QB to do that since Josh McCown in 2013 |
| Passing Yards | 226 | Efficient, not explosive – no need for chunk plays; the TDs came from precision |
| Touchdowns | 4 | Set new personal career high; previous high was 2 TD in a single game |
| Interception | 1 | Deep ball to DJ Moore; Andre Cisco back-pedaling to pick it; Williams recovered well |
| Rush Yards | 56 on 4 carries | 14.0 yards per scramble; athletic dimension opponents cannot ignore |
| PFN QB+ Grade | 73.7 (B grade) | 13th-highest single-game grade in the NFL through Week 6 of 2024 |
| Sacks Taken | 3 | Jacksonville’s pass rush created early-game disruption that masked in final score |
| TD Drives (Distances) | 85 yds, 41 yds, 91 yds, post-INT | Four separate touchdown marches; no short-field gifts |
What made Williams’ performance stand out beyond the box score was his no-huddle efficiency. When the Bears went up-tempo, the Jacksonville defense had no time to substitute or disguise coverages. Williams read defenses faster in tempo and his completion percentage jumped noticeably on those drives. Keenan Allen, a 12-year veteran who had worked with elite quarterbacks in Los Angeles, said after the game: ‘When we pick up the tempo, he’s a lot more comfortable. He’s able to see things faster, and defenses can’t do all the moving around.’
Trevor Lawrence vs Chicago Bears: Performance Analysis
Lawrence’s 234-yard, two-touchdown showing against Chicago in 2024 was actually his second-highest PFN QB+ grade of the entire 2024 season – which tells you how difficult his year was. Coming in at 1-4, having lost 10 of his last 11 starts as a starter, Lawrence needed a statement game in London. He did not get one.
| Trevor Lawrence Stat vs CHI (2024) | Value | Context |
| Completion Percentage | 65.7% (23/35) | Below his season average; three drops from receivers also affected rhythm |
| Passing Yards | 234 | Respectable total but the red-zone miscues masked the yardage |
| Touchdowns | 2 (both to Gabe Davis) | Both came in the second half when game was already decided |
| Interception | 1 | Josh Blackwell pick; led directly to Swift’s TD that made it 28-10 |
| PFN QB+ Grade | 59.6 (C grade) | Second-highest grade of his 2024 season – his worst season as a starter |
| Record After This Loss | 1-5 (1-10 in last 11 starts) | Made his job security the lead story post-game |
| First Half Line | 9/12, 82 yds, 0 TD, 0 INT | Efficient first half, but Jags scored only 3 points from their drives |
| Travis Etienne Support | 3 carries, -1 yards | Etienne re-aggravated shoulder; effectively no ground game for Lawrence |
Context Note: Jacksonville owner Shad Khan called this 2024 roster ‘the best team assembled by the Jacksonville Jaguars ever’ after signing Lawrence to a 5-year, $275 million extension. The Bears game made Pederson’s job look untenable. He was fired the following week.

Note: The Bears have scored 30+ points in three of their four most recent wins over Jacksonville. Turnover control has been a consistent factor – Chicago has committed exactly one turnover in three of their last four wins in this series.
Jacksonville Jaguars QBs vs Chicago – Career Summary

Cole Kmet’s Unforgettable London Performance
Cole Kmet’s game on October 13, 2024 stands alone in NFL history for this particular combination of contributions. He caught two touchdowns, then served as the Bears’ emergency long snapper for every extra point and field goal attempt from his first TD onward. Every snap was clean. According to historical research cited in post-game coverage, Kmet was the first player to score a touchdown and then snap for the extra point following that same score since 2005. His role as designated emergency long snapper – maintained because the team discovered he had done it in high school – made this one of the most unusual position-double performances in modern NFL memory.
Evan Engram: The Costly Fumble
Engram returned from a four-game hamstring absence for this game, active just in time for the London matchup. He performed well catching the ball – 10 catches for 102 yards – but his fumble on the first play of the third quarter, punched out by TJ Edwards and recovered by Elijah Hicks, ended Jacksonville’s first second-half possession and led directly to Keenan Allen’s first Bears touchdown. According to win probability models (rbsdm.com), that Engram fumble was the biggest single play of the game by Expected Points Added at -4.5 EPA. Jacksonville never recovered momentum after that sequence.
Advanced Series Trends: What the Numbers Reveal
1. Chicago’s Second-Half Dominance Is the Story of This Series
In each of the last two Bears-Jaguars games, Jacksonville either led or was tied at halftime but fell apart in the third quarter. In 2020, Chicago outscored Jacksonville 28-7 in the second half after leading 13-10 at the break. In 2024, the Bears turned a 14-3 halftime lead into a 35-3 third-quarter lead by scoring 21 unanswered points after Engram’s fumble and a Lawrence interception. The pattern is consistent: Jacksonville moves the ball in the first half but cannot sustain production against Chicago’s defense.
2. Jacksonville’s Red Zone Issues Have Been Decisive
In the 2024 London game, the Jaguars had the ball inside the Chicago 10-yard line three times in the first half and scored zero touchdowns. The opening drive reached the Bears’ 8-yard line before a false start and a Gabe Davis drop led to a field goal. A subsequent drive was ended by an Andre Cisco interception – which returned the ball to the Bears. Had Jacksonville converted either early chance, the game might have unfolded entirely differently. Their red zone completion that game: 0-for-1 in the first half.
3. Chicago’s Turnover Edge Has Won Games
| Game | CHI Turnovers | JAX Turnovers | Result |
| Dec 27, 2020 | 1 | 2 | CHI W 41-17 |
| Oct 13, 2024 | 1 (INT) | 2 (1 INT, 1 Fumble) | CHI W 35-16 |
| Oct 16, 2016 | 0 | 1 (INT) | JAX W 17-16 |
| Oct 7, 2012 | 1 (INT) | 2 (2 INT) | CHI W 41-3 |
Every time the Bears have won the turnover battle in this series, they have won the game. The one Jacksonville win above (2016) happened when Chicago had zero turnovers – but the Jaguars won by one point on a last-second defensive play.
4. Jacksonville’s Home Record in London Does Not Save Them Against Chicago
The Jaguars have been a London-based team for over a decade in terms of hosting international series games, and their familiarity with the time zone, the stadium, and UK travel logistics generally gives them an edge over visiting teams. Against the Bears in 2024, however, it did not matter. Chicago won by 19 despite flying across the Atlantic. That win was part of a broader 2024 Bears trend: they recorded takeaways in eight consecutive games and their defense held Jacksonville to 278 total yards.
Historical Series Context: 1995 to Present
Three Eras of the Bears-Jaguars Rivalry
- Early competitive phase (1995-2004): The series opened with three close games decided by single scores or small margins. Jacksonville’s best series wins came in this era, including their largest margin victory of 22-3 in December 2004.
- Chicago dominance (2008-2020): The Bears won four straight meetings in this window, including the historic 41-3 blowout in Jacksonville in 2012. The series took on a lopsided character that has not changed.
- Modern rivalry (2024-present): The 2024 London game introduced two No. 1 overall picks facing each other. Caleb Williams dominated Trevor Lawrence in that debut, but Lawrence’s improved 2025 season sets up a more competitive storyline heading into their December 2026 meeting.
2012 Blowout: Still the Defining Series Benchmark
The October 7, 2012 game in Jacksonville – a 41-3 Bears win – remains the largest margin of victory in this series. Jay Cutler threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns, Matt Forte ran for 107 yards, and Brandon Marshall had 12 catches for 144 yards and a score. Blaine Gabbert threw two interceptions with no touchdowns. It set the tone for a prolonged stretch of Bears dominance that has continued into the 2020s.
| Game | Notable Individual Stat Line |
| Oct 7, 2012 (CHI 41-3) | Brandon Marshall: 12 REC, 144 YDS, 1 TD – Jay Cutler: 23/39, 292 YDS, 2 TD, 1 INT |
| Dec 27, 2020 (CHI 41-17) | Allen Robinson: 10 REC, 103 YDS vs former team – David Montgomery: 23 CAR, 95 YDS, 1 TD |
| Oct 13, 2024 (CHI 35-16) | Caleb Williams: 23/29, 226 YDS, 4 TD (career-high) – Cole Kmet: 5 REC, 70 YDS, 2 TD + emergency LS |
| Oct 16, 2016 (JAX 17-16) | Blake Bortles: 20/33, 271 YDS, 1 TD – Only JAX win in last six series meetings |
2026 Week 13 Preview: Jaguars at Bears – December 6, 2026
The next chapter of this series is scheduled for Sunday, December 6, 2026 at Soldier Field in Chicago. This is a late-season game with potential playoff implications for both teams, and it follows a lengthy away stretch for Jacksonville.

Chicago Bears 2026 Context
The Bears appear to be trending upward under Caleb Williams entering the second year of his development. Chicago finished 2025 with only 11 turnovers – the fewest in the NFL that season – a signal that their offensive discipline was translating into wins. After the 2024 London breakout, Williams and the Bears offense appear set for a more complete 2026 campaign.
- Caleb Williams returns with a full season of development under his belt after his 4-TD London debut vs Jacksonville.
- The Bears carry strong home field advantage at Soldier Field – Chicago went 4-1 at home vs Jacksonville in their all-time series.
- D’Andre Swift, who posted 119 total yards from scrimmage in the 2024 London game, is a key rushing threat in any Soldier Field matchup.
- Keenan Allen’s first Bears touchdown came in the 2024 London game vs Jacksonville – a symbolic moment for that pairing.
Jacksonville Jaguars 2026 Context
The Jaguars enter 2026 as a more mature team following a promising 2025 season. Lawrence’s improved form and Jacksonville’s focus on building around their young core makes this December 2026 game a genuine competitive matchup rather than the mismatch some earlier series games have been.
- Trevor Lawrence returns as the starter after a difficult 2024 season; his 2025 improvement and improved surrounding cast changes the equation.
- Jacksonville plays Weeks 5-6 in London (vs Eagles and Texans) before their bye in Week 7, arriving at Week 13 with significant road experience in 2026.
- The Jaguars play seven of their final ten games on the road in 2026, making Soldier Field one of the toughest stops in that stretch.
- Brian Thomas Jr., who dropped a key end-zone pass in the 2024 London game, has had a full additional year to develop chemistry with Lawrence.
- Jacksonville’s red zone struggles against Chicago must be corrected – their inability to score TDs on three early red-zone chances in 2024 was the game-turning difference.
The FOX broadcast and 12:00 PM CT kickoff gives this a regular early-window feel. With both teams potentially in playoff contention in December, this game could carry significant seeding implications for both the NFC North race (Bears) and the AFC South race (Jaguars).
