3 Disappointments From Bears’ Thrilling Comeback Week 1 Win

3. Caleb Williams

This spot could’ve been saved for Keenan Allen, who had a couple of disappointing drops and was banged up in Sunday’s win. Or it could have gone to head coach Matt Eberflus as his team got outplayed in the first half.

However, we’ll highlight Williams, who looked like a rookie in his NFL regular season game. The former USC star quarterback only completed 14-of-29 passes for 93 yards. He was also sacked twice in the seven-point win as the Titans’ defense did a good job of making him uncomfortable.

Williams added 15 rushing yards in the win, but that’s not his game. The Bears offense didn’t do their job on third-down, converting 2-of-13 attempts. Williams and Co. must be better next week against an aggressive Texans defense.

Williams also only had success on the left side of the field, completing 8-of-10 passes between the line of scrimmage and 10 yards. The Bears will likely want to see those completions spread out across the field, but credit to the Titans’ defense.

Even though Williams’ debut was disappointing, Bears fans should have a ton of hope for the young quarterback. The more regular season reps he gets, the more comfortable the rookie quarterback should get each week.
