LONDON -- Cole Kmet got the easy part out of the way first.

After Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams faked a pass to his left and then to his right on the Bears' third drive, the rookie found Kmet open over the middle of the field for a 31-yard touchdown.

The tight end broke two tackles around his ankles and scored to give the Bears their first lead of the game over the Jacksonville Jaguars .

It was the second-longest touchdown of his career.

After long-snapper Scott Daly went down with a knee injury on the Bears' second punt, Kmet, Chicago's emergency long-snapper, began warming up on the sideline.

He stayed on the field after his score and snapped for the extra point, which put the Bears up 7-3 with 11:17 to play in the second quarter.

CALEB TO KMET AGAIN.

What a drive by the @ChicagoBears !! : #JAXvsCHI on NFL Network : Stream on #NFLPlus pic.twitter.com/r1G4Z4T2KJ Williams led the Bears on a 10-play, 85-yard scoring drive before halftime.

He picked up two first downs with his legs: a 23-yard scramble that got Chicago to midfield ahead of the two-minute warning, and a 19-yard run after escaping the pocket to get the Bears down to the goal line.

The rookie once again found Kmet in the end zone for a touchdown to give the Bears a 14-3 lead.

Bears coach Matt Eberflus said at halftime that Kmet practices long-snapping every Thursday.

"I think he might be the first guy in history to have two touchdowns and two snaps," Eberflus said.

Williams added a third TD pass in the third quarter when he found Keenan Allen for a 9-yard score.

Williams became the first Bears rookie to throw three touchdowns since Cade McNown had four in one game and three in another in 1999.
