There were some positives during the Chicago Bears‘ loss to the Detroit Lions. While a 31-point loss is never going to be looked at under a positive light, Rome Odunze, the second-year wide receiver who was drafted with Williams, had seven receptions for 128 yards.Â
Williams will continue to go after Odunze whenever he’s open, and even in challenging situations where he has to make a big play. When speaking to reporters about that, he credited their short history of being together as the reason why the connection is as strong as it already is.Â
“That’s just us being together for a year and a half now,” Williams said, per Bears Wire. “So being able to keep that rhythm with him, being able to get in rhythm with the other wide receivers ⦠it’s important to have everybody going and everybody understand their role in this offense and that everybody is important.
“When you have a guy come out and he’s making great catches for you and getting off-man coverage and press, you want to keep feeding him the ball, and that’s just what happened today.â
Caleb Williams Remains a Question Mark in Chicago
The Chicago Bears have been searching for a competent quarterback for much of the past few decades. Unfortunately, Caleb Williams hasnât answered the question of whether he’s that guy or not. Many are starting to believe that he isn’t.Â
Williams was brutal in the Bears’ 52-21 loss to their rival, the Detroit Lions, a game that wasnât expected to come out that way.Â
The Chicago star didn’t play well again on Sunday, completing 19 of 30 passes for 207 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. While the defense didn’t show up for the Bears, and that’s concerning, Williams has to keep the offense on the field longer.Â
When speaking to reporters about how he played, Ben Johnson had some words of criticism for the youngster. Williams made a bad pass in the game, throwing an interception to Lions safety Kerby Jones.
He offered a short answer to what he has to do moving forward.Â
“He’s got to throw it away,” Johnson said.
Is Bears QB Caleb Williams Feeling the Heat?
Johnson is going to say it as he believes that things went down. There’s a reason why many in the Chicago Bears organization love him, because he says what he thinks, whether fans, players, or anyone else likes it.Â
Ultimately, his job is to ensure the Bears play the best type of football they can, and Williams wasn’t doing that.
For Williams, however, the heat is starting to catch up. If he doesn’t figure things out in the future, the heat will only continue to rise. To do so, he’ll have to ensure that he doesn’t go out there and be afraid to make mistakes when it matters most.
âItâs always pointing the finger at yourself before you go pointing at anybody else,â Williams said. âIâm not necessarily going to say âtough filmâ or anything like that. Youâre going to make mistakes,â per the Chicago Sun-Times.
âYouâve got to go out there and not be fearful of making a mistake, and thatâs how I play. If something happens, all right, cool, move on to the next play and letâs go back out there.â
