Bears vs. Jaguars final score: Caleb Williams, Bears crush Jags in London
The NFL sent a marquee quarterback matchup to London this weekend. Caleb Williams, though, was the headlining star.
Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears destroyed Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars in London in Week 6, 35-16. Williams finished with four touchdowns in the effort, as the quarterback continues his ascent.
Williams, the No. 1 overall selection in the 2024 NFL draft, seems to be figuring things out. With two 300-plus-yard performances in his last three games, the rookie passer came up a touchdown shy of tying the NFL record for touchdown passes by a rookie QB in the matchup.
Lawrence, No. 1 overall selection in the 2021 draft, has waded through difficult early season waters so far, and Sunday's matchup was no different. Lawrence threw two touchdowns in the game, but one was a little bit too little, too late to wide receiver Gabe Davis.
USA TODAY Sports provided live updates, highlights and more from the Week 6 London matchup between the Bears and Jaguars below:

End of game: Bears roll, dismantle Jaguars in London
There was maybe some hope for the Jaguars in the first quarter, but that was quickly doused by a high-flying Bears offense through the remainder of the game. Caleb Williams finished with four touchdowns in the massive win over the hapless Jaguars in London.
Jaguars backup QB Mac Jones enters game in relief of Trevor Lawrence
Trevor Lawrence will take in the rest of this pending Jaguars loss from the sidelines. Mac Jones has entered the game for mop-up duty, keeping Lawrence on the sidelines for this forgettable performance.
Bears vs. Jaguars score: Gabe Davis secures second TD catch
The Jaguars are alive, but barely breathing. Trevor Lawrence found Gabe Davis for his second touchdown catch of the day. After a failed 2-point try, the Jaguars trail 35-16.
Bears vs. Jaguars score: D'Andre Swift hits pay dirty for touchdown
After D.J. Moore came up just inches shy of giving Caleb Williams his fifth touchdown on the day, running back D'Andre Swift bullied his way into the end zone for the score. The Bears lead 35-10 following the score.
Trevor Lawrence throws backbreaking INT
Trevor Lawrence hasn't lit the box score on fire, but he will ignite plenty of takes come Monday morning.
Lawrence threw a ghastly interception to Bears DB Josh Blackwell in the early goings of the fourth quarter to set up the bears for another scoring opportunity.
Bears vs. Jaguars score: Caleb Williams throws fourth TD of the day
Caleb Williams has arrived, both in London and the NFL.
After some flashes of brilliance in recent weeks, Williams has erupted in London for four touchdown passes. The fourth, a fade to Keenan Allen for his second TD grab of the day. The Bears lead 28-10 with 14:56 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Why do the Jaguars always play in London?
In 2012, the Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to play one home game at Wembley Stadium each year from 2013 to 2016, later extending that agreement through 2020. As a result, the Jaguars became a staple of the NFL London games, playing overseas for 10 consecutive seasons.
What is the 'GSH' on the Bears jerseys?
The "GSH" on the shoulder sleeves of the Bears uniform are the initials of George S. Halas, the founder and former owner of the Chicago Bears.
Bears vs. Jaguars score: Trevor Lawrence finds Gabe Davis for TD
When the Jags needed a score, Trevor Lawrence delivered. While the passer has been more than a bit off on the drive, he escaped the pocket and found Gabe Davis for six. The extra point would cut into the Bears' lead, which now sits at 21-10.
Travis Etienne injury update: Jaguars RB questionable to return
Jaguars running back Travis Etienne has been a topic of early trade speculation, but now he may have to overcome a little injury to get back on the field.
Etienne was listed as questionable to return with a hamstring injury midway through the third quarter. Etienne also dealt with a shoulder injury earlier this season.
Bears pause for tea time after TD
The "T" in "TD" actually stands for "tea."
After Caleb Williams' third touchdown pass of the day, the Bears gathered in the end zone for a little celebration: Apropos of their matchup in London, Chicago called for a tea party celebration.
Did anyone bring the crumpets?
Bears vs. Jaguars score: Caleb Williams throws dart to Keenan Allen for TD
The Evan Engram fumble proved costly. Caleb Williams would connect with Keenan Allen for his third touchdown pass of the day to put the Bears up 18 points on the Jaguars in London.
Evan Engram fumble sets up Bears
The Jaguars needed a score to come out of half with some urgency, but an Evan Engram fumble set up the Bears with good field position to lengthen their lead.
Halftime: Bears turn tide in second quarter, lead Jaguars
It was a tale of two quarters before halftime: The Jaguars dominated the first half, while it was all Bears in the second quarter. The Bears lead the Jaguars on the back of two Caleb Williams-Cole Kmet TD passes, 14-3.
Bears vs. Jaguars score: Caleb-Cole connection converts again
It was another easy pitch and catch for Caleb Williams and Cole Kmet for the duo's second touchdown connection of the day. It put the Bears up 14-3 with 13 seconds left in the half.
Caleb Williams throws interception to Andre Cisco
The Bears offense seemed to be humming, until Caleb Williams left too much air under a deep ball to D.J. Moore. Andre Cisco had a healthy return with the throw to set up the Jaguars with another drive.
Rome Odunze stats
Midway through the second quarter, Rome Odunze has yet to secure a catch vs. the Jaguars. D.J. Moore, Cole Kmet and Roschon Johnson all have catches.
Bears vs. Jaguars score: Caleb Williams connects with Cole Kmet for TD
It looks like the Bears offense showed up to London a little late. After having just seven yards on offense in the first quarter, the Bears offense came alive in the second quarter, with Caleb Williams leading a scoring drive and capping it off with a TD pass to Cole Kmet.
Kmet would truck a Jags defender en route to the end zone – and then would snap the ball on the extra point.
Bears up 7-3 in the second.
Evan Engram stats today
Evan Engram is back for the Jaguars today, and it doesn't look like he's missed a step. The Jags tight end has been a much-needed security blanket for Trevor Lawrence, with three catches for 39 yards through one quarter of play vs. the Bears.
End of first quarter: Jags dominate Bears, but scoreboard tight
A long, long Jaguars drive that ended in a field goal sucked up most of the time in the first quarter vs. the Bears. Chicago can't seem to get much going offensively, with just seven total yards at the end of the first quarter. That said, the Jags lead by just a field goal heading into the second quarter.
Brian Thomas Jr. stats
Jaguars wideout Brian Thomas Jr. entered the matchup with 397 yards on the season. That puts him on pace for over 1,300 yards should he stay healthy. He has two receptions for 21 yards entering the late stages of the first quarter vs. the Bears.
Bears vs. Jaguars score: Jaguars settle for field goal after lengthy possession
A methodical, clock-chewing possession by the Jaguars stalled in the red zone. After a number of penalties and a Gabe Davis end zone drop, the Jags settled for a Cam Little boot for three points. The Jaguars lead the Bears 3-0 in the first quarter.
Jaguars force three-and-out on first possession
Those looking for some early American fireworks from Caleb Williams will have to wait at least one more drive. The Jaguars defense forces the Bears into a punt after Williams was stopped on third down. Referees may have missed a facemask call on Williams, as well.

Trevor Lawrence contract details
The Jaguars and quarterback Trevor Lawrence have agreed to terms on a five-year, $275 million contract extension – with $200 million guaranteed – ahead of the 2024 season, a person close to the situation informed USA TODAY Sports.
At the time, the deal matched Lawrence with the Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow as the NFL's highest-paid quarterback and highest-paid player in league history (in per-season average salary). Dak Prescott later eclipsed that mark.
Who is the highest-paid NFL quarterback?
Dak Prescott is currently the highest-paid NFL quarterback in terms of AAV. He signed a four-year, $240 million extension with the Dallas Cowboys on eve of the 2024 NFL season to leapfrog Lawrence and Burrow for the top spot.
Prescott also has the most guaranteed money in his contract among quarterbacks. A whopping $231 million of his deal is guaranteed, which surpassed Deshaun Watson's previous record of $230 million in his infamous fully guaranteed deal.
Prescott's contract isn't the NFL's largest contract overall, however. That honor belongs to Patrick Mahomes, who is penciled to make $450 million as part of the 10-year contract he signed with the team in 2020.
