Score: 19-17 win vs. Minnesota Vikings
Stat Line: 16 of 32 for 193 yards
Caleb Williams hasn’t been the most efficient quarterback of late. He’s completed just 54.9 percent of his passes over the last three games. Yet the Chicago Bears are 3-0 in those contests and Williams is why.
Williams has led five game-winning drive this season. To be fair, the second-year quarterback didn’t need to do too much Sunday against the Vikings after Devin Duvernay provided a 56-yard kick return to place Chicago in Minnesota’s territory, which led to the game-winning field goal.
However, a belief is building within the organization and Williams’ presence is a big part of the Bears’ 7-3 record.
“Something that I’ve spoke about before: living in the known,” Caleb Williams told reporters. “It doesn’t matter when; it doesn’t matter how; it doesn’t matter who. We’ve got the guys; we’ve got the coaches. We live in the known. And so when our moment comes, when their moment comes, whoever it is on the team, we’ll make the play.”
The performances aren’t perfect, but Williams and the Bears coaching staff are learning how to win together.
“… You have to consider Caleb as a rookie, because he wasn’t buying in before,” a former NFL head coach told The Athletic’s Mike Sando. “He is learning how to play. There are a lot of games you are going to play in like the week before (Week 10), when he ran (17) yards for the winning touchdown.”
