Caleb Williams’ encouraging throws give Bears something to build on: All-22 film

Fans didn’t want to hear Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus begin his Week 3 recap news conference with positive signs, but if those moments of hope came from the rookie quarterback, it’s worth some time. Other than that, there’s still something they can take from the loss to the Indianapolis Colts, specifically with a few big throws from Williams to Kmet and wide receiver Rome Odunze, and clutch third-down conversions. “I look at that seam route he threw late in the fourth quarter that he drove the ball on me on — they’re preventing those type of throws from happening,” Kmet said. “That was really an unbelievable throw by him to fit that in between the hook defender, so that was some really good stuff.” The Colts didn’t send an extra rusher, and the Bears’ offensive line created a clean pocket for Williams. “And you saw him get in a groove there, and that was really good to see from his end and you could feel his confidence growing as the game went on despite some of the negative plays that happened.” It’s too simple to say, “As long as Williams has time to throw and players get open, the offense will start clicking.” But the Bears can take those two touchdown drives and see what worked.
