Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams was much more productive. But coaching was an issue and the defensive line was not as dominant as it had been in the first two games.
QUARTERBACK (B)
After throwing for fewer than 200 yards in his first two NFL starts, rookie Caleb Williams had his first productive day as a pro — completing 33 of 52 passes for 363 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions for an 80.8 passer rating.
And while developing a connection with fellow rookie Rome Odunze (six receptions, 112 yards, one touchdown), didn’t just lean on that — utilizing DJ Moore (8-78, including a 44-yard Hail Mary reception) and tight end Cole Kmet (20-97, one touchdown.
Besides the two interceptions, Williams also lost a fumble when he was sacked from behind. But this was a step forward for Williams and evidence that the Bears issue is the offense and not the quarterback.
