It’s been a rough 72 hours in Bears land. I suppose that’s what happens when a team with real expectations loses a game the way it did in Washington on Sunday. If you needed a palate cleanser before turning the page to Arizona, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams provided it.

Williams admitted that the ending in Washington stunk, but more importantly, he acknowledged that he stunk for much of the game. Williams didn’t deflect, dodge, or point fingers. He just wore an ugly loss for 10 minutes at the podium.

This is yet another display of Williams’s maturity beyond his years.
