Bears' Caleb Williams Shows He's the Real Deal with Magical Pass, but Can't Overcome Mistakes.
Caleb Williams has finally solved one of the Bears’ most maddening problems - finding a quarterback capable of heroics few in the NFL can match. In a divisional-round playoff game against the Rams, Williams threw an unforgettable touchdown pass to force overtime. However, his impressive display was marred by three interceptions that led to the Rams' 20-17 victory.
The Bears' loss marks the end of their dream season and leaves them with little time to reflect on what went wrong. The team's focus shifts now to building themselves into a championship contender in the offseason.
Williams, who had been magical all season, was under pressure immediately after scrambling backward to keep his team alive. He then heaved the ball to tight end Cole Kmet, who was wide open in the back left corner as defensive backs Cobie Durant and Quentin Lake trailed. The pass was deemed 'ridiculous' by coach Ben Johnson, with him saying it's something you can't coach.
Although Williams struggled for most of the game, he surged late and had a chance to win it after forcing the Rams to punt on the first possession of overtime. However, his throw was short and picked off by Kamren Curl.
Despite the loss, Williams showed that he has what it takes to be a top quarterback in the league. The Bears have solidified their coach-quarterback pairing with Ben Johnson at the helm and Caleb Williams as the talented quarterback. This duo has the potential to take the team to new heights.
The most important thing the Bears did this season was finding their rhythm between Johnson and Williams, which looks set to be a key factor for their success in the future.
