Bears Tuesday: Williams, Johnson, O-Line, More

There's plenty of work to be done with Ben Johnson's group after a disappointing late-game collapse on Monday night.

In partnership with

Caleb Williams’ first game of the season is in the books, and it was, well, very reminiscent of the games we watched last season. There was some early magic in the air, but like Williams’ accuracy, it evaporated as the game progressed, and the mistakes mounted, an all too familiar story for Bears fans.

The opening drive was economical and looked like Ben Johnson’s plan in action. Williams’ new head coach stressed taking what’s there and raising his completion percentage north of 70 percent during training camp.

On the opening drive, Williams made sure the Bears never went broke. Taking the checkdown, his poise in the pocket improved, and he flashed the tools that keep us coming back with a scramble-throw missile to Rome Odunze that was easily one of the best completions of the week across the entire league before capping the drive off with a rushing touchdown, where he reached a top speed of nearly 21 mph.

Everything about the drive was what we wanted to see from Williams and the Bears to open the season. Unfortunately, Williams’ touchdown scramble—which had a 17.8 percent scoring probability when he took off from the 16-yard line—would be the last time he got Chicago into the end zone until they were down 10 points with 2:02 left in the game, and Williams found Rome Odunze in the en

d zone.
