Overview

• Chicago moved to 1-2 with a 31-14 win at Soldier Field, where Caleb Williams went 19-of-28 for 298 yards and four touchdowns with zero interceptions.
• For the first time in his NFL career, Williams was not sacked, a shift linked to improved protection from a reworked line featuring Joe Thuney, Jonah Jackson and Drew Dalman.
• The signature sequence was a 19-play, 76-yard third-quarter drive that drained 9:54 and finished with a fourth-and-goal touchdown to DJ Moore.
• Johnson’s staff dialed up a 65-yard flea-flicker to rookie Luther Burden III after identifying the look on film, highlighting Chicago’s prepared, opportunistic play-calling.
• Chicago’s defense produced four takeaways against a Dallas unit coordinated by ex-Bears coach Matt Eberflus, while Rome Odunze’s usage fueled fresh WR1 talk heading into a Week 4 trip to Las Vegas.
