Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams made his preseason debut during Sunday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills, and his first live-game action under new head coach Ben Johnson didn’t disappoint.
Williams led the Bears on a seven-play, 92-yard scoring drive that culminated in a 36-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus. On that first series, Williams completed 5-of-6 passes for 97 yards with a touchdown and a perfect 158.3 passer rating.

The second series wasn’t as successful, ending in a punt after wide receiver Rome Odunze failed to haul in a pass on third down, but Williams’ night was an overall productive one. Williams completed 6-of-10 passes for 107 yards, one touchdown and a 130.0 passer rating. But, most importantly, he looked comfortable, decisive and sharp in his first live action since Johnson took over.
As you can imagine, there was plenty of reaction to Williams’ preseason performance, including some overreaction and plenty of reasonable praise for the second-year QB’s impressive start.
