Bears see improvement in Caleb Williams’ performance, but it comes in a 21-16 loss to Colts
INDIANAPOLIS — Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams produced promising numbers in his third career NFL start. 1 overall draft topped the 300-yard mark for the first time and got the Bears into the end zone twice with the first two TD passes of his pro career, Williams could not complete a fourth-quarter comeback attempt at Indianapolis, suffering his second straight defeat. While Williams was a solid 33 of 52 for 363 yards, all career bests, and finished with a passer rating of 80.8 — more than double Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson’s 39.0 — the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner spent most of the game operating on the run. With Matt Pryor replacing injured right guard Nate Davis in the starting lineup and left tackle Braxton Jones leaving briefly in the first half after appearing to hurt his right leg, the Bears’ offensive line again struggled to keep Williams upright.
