Bears' Playoff Push Puts Caleb Williams Under Steelers Pass-Rush Spotlight

Overview

• Chicago is 7-3 with the NFL's toughest remaining schedule by opponent winning percentage and hosts Pittsburgh before visiting Philadelphia on Nov. 28.
• Caleb Williams is completing 59.7% of his passes, well below coach Ben Johnson's 70% target, after a 16-for-32, 193-yard outing against Minnesota.
• Despite accuracy issues, Williams has delivered five game-winning drives and has avoided interceptions in his past three games as the Bears have won three straight and seven of eight.
• Ben Johnson warned of T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith as "werewolves" off the edge, with the Steelers ranking third in sacks and fourth in blitz rate.
• Pittsburgh signed John Rhys Plumlee to its practice squad to mimic Williams' mobility, while Chicago opened Kyler Gordon's 21-day return window and listed Jaylon Johnson limited and T.J. Edwards as a non-participant.
