“Just really proud of the group and how resilient they were,” said coach Ben Johnson. “There were a number of things that weren’t pretty, that weren’t clean and yet what you learn about this group through the first half of the season is they are an extremely resilient bunch. They show up and they’re going to fight you all 60 minutes and they really don’t waver.<\/p>\n
“I give them a lot of credit for their poise. With the way that game went, you’re up two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and they get the onside kick, they get the lead, it’s easy to fold and our guys didn’t do that. They kept the faith and found a way to come out on top.”<\/p>\n
With the frenetic comeback victory, the Bears improved to 5-3 and have now won five of six games since an 0-2 start.<\/p>\n
“That’s what we are,” Williams said. “When things don’t go our way, when adversity hits, we find ways to win for each other.”<\/p>\n
Williams completed 20 of 34 passes for 280 yards with three touchdowns, no turnovers and a 114.8 passer rating while only being sacked twice. He quarterbacked an offense that produced 576 total yards and 30 first downs.<\/p>\n
“He threw some touchdowns,” Johnson said. “He didn’t throw any interceptions, and he used his legs to help us extend drives as well. I was pleased with that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Just really proud of the group and how resilient they were,” said coach Ben Johnson. “There were a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267968,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[125555,99],"class_list":["post-267967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-article-game-recap","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
