Overview

• The Bears enter the bye on a two-game win streak, with coaches and players acknowledging a Week 4 step back despite the victory over the Raiders.
• Head coach Ben Johnson took responsibility for the sloppiness, citing late calls and coaching lapses, and challenged the entire offense to raise its standard.
• Caleb Williams emphasizes using the bye for improvement, noting he may take only one rest day as he aims to carry recent late-game success forward.
• Williams has eight touchdown passes and a 97.8 passer rating through four games, has been sacked seven times, and reports growing comfort with Johnson’s system and footwork demands.
• Chicago’s priorities include fixing a run game averaging 3.8 yards per carry and stabilizing an offensive line that has rotated multiple tackles, with RT Darnell Wright sidelined in practice by an elbow issue and RG Jonah Jackson not seen Tuesday.
