Overview
- In a 30-16 defeat at Baltimore, Caleb Williams drew two intentional-grounding penalties as the Bears were flagged 11 times for 79 yards.
- Johnson said the grounding before halftime hurt a scoring chance and led to a rushed 58-yard try that Cairo Santos missed.
- Trailing 16-13 in the fourth quarter, Williams threw a pass intended for Rome Odunze that Nate Wiggins intercepted and returned to Chicago’s nine, setting up a Ravens touchdown.
- Following the loss, Colin Cowherd and John Middlekauff predicted on The Volume that Chicago could ultimately move on from Williams if his accuracy does not improve.
- Through seven games, Williams’ completion rate is 61.9% versus 62.5% last year with four interceptions, and the Bears are 4-3 after falling to a Ravens team without Lamar Jackson.
