Caleb Williams Pledges Passing Fix as 9-3 Bears Face Packers Test

Ben Johnson publicly backed his quarterback following earlier critique of the passing game.

Overview

Chicago has won five straight by leaning on one of the NFL’s best rushing attacks, including 281 yards in the road win over Philadelphia.
Johnson said the team was winning in spite of its passing game, then clarified he was pleased with Williams’ growth and game management.
Williams said the offense is “so close” to clicking, pointing to missed reads and miscommunications he expects to correct soon.
Efficiency remains uneven: 53.2% completion during the winning streak and 58.1% for the season, with only five qualifying quarterbacks lower per ESPN.
Protection indicators are positive with a 12.8% pressure-to-sack rate (sixth lowest) and 19 sacks allowed, as the Green Bay matchup is viewed as a chance to show passing progress.
