Bears' Run-Heavy Surge Puts Them at 9-3 as Caleb Williams Seeks a Passing Breakthrough

Ben Johnson now publicly emphasizes Williams' week-to-week progress.

Overview

  • Chicago beat the Eagles 24-15 on Black Friday for a fifth straight win, fueled by 281 rushing yards to reach 9-3.
  • Caleb Williams went 17-of-36 for 154 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Philadelphia win.
  • Johnson said the team is winning in spite of its passing game, then clarified the remark was not a knock on Williams and praised his game management.
  • Williams said the air attack is “so close” to clicking, pointing to missed reads, slips and miscommunications he expects to clean up soon.
  • ESPN lists his completion rate at 58.1% this season and 53.2% during the streak, yet PFF credits him with a 12.8% pressure-to-sack rate, and the upcoming Packers game is being framed as a key test for the passing offense.
