Overview

• Williams went 19-of-28 for 298 yards with four touchdowns, no interceptions and no sacks in Chicago’s most complete outing of the young season.
• In a raucous locker room, Johnson handed Williams a game ball before Williams returned it to mark Johnson’s first victory as an NFL head coach, with the quarterback saying the “train is going.”
• The win came against Cowboys defensive coordinator and former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus, whose unit yielded 385 yards as fans mocked his return to Soldier Field.
• Analysts noted Dallas’ pass rush lacked bite without Micah Parsons, a factor as Chicago’s protection kept Williams clean throughout the game.
• The rebound followed Williams’ late Week 2 benching for Tyson Bagent and intensified scrutiny, including Terry Bradshaw questioning the quarterback’s comfort and Johnson’s 70% completion directive.
