CHIQB • #18

Caleb Williams completed 33-of-52 passes for 363 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Bears’ 21-16, Week 3 loss to the Colts.

Williams also lost a fumble and took four sacks for 31 yards. The Colts entered Week 3 having allowed the most rushing yards (474) through the first two games of the season since 1978, but since the Bears’ “rushing attack” has essentially been DOA this year, Williams was forced to drop back far more than he’s ready for. He at least wasn’t a total disaster this time, averaging 7.0 yards per attempt and finding each of Rome Odunze, DJ Moore and Cole Kmet for at least 78 yards. He started out the game horribly inaccurate before finally seeming to get comfortable after finding a rhythm with Odunze. He is still missing too many layups, while the turnovers were obviously killers, but it was Williams’ first tangible sign of progress. The Colts were a good matchup, but the Rams are an even better one for Week 4.
