Caleb Williams took another step backward, but the offensive line, offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, coach Matt Eberflus and even GM Ryan Poles had a hand in the rookie quarterback’s poor performance.

This can’t be happening again, can it? Bears quarterback Caleb Williams looked like a shell of the player he was just four weeks ago in London. His completed 16 of 30 passes for 120 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions for a 63.2 passer rating. And he was sacked nine times for 51 yards in losses, as the Bears had a net of 69 passing yards.
Williams has not thrown an interception in three games of regression, so it could be worse. But he looks like a quarterback who is one step from disaster.OFFENSIVE LINE: F
The Bears already were in a bind with left tackle Braxton Jones (knee) and right tackle Darnell Wright (knee) out with injuries. Left guard Teven Jenkins left in the second quarter with an ankle injury, with center Doug Kramer replacing him.
The Bears thought they could survive against a defense ranked 28th in sacks and 25th in yards allowed.
