Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams connected on 22 of his 37 pass attempts for 279 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. Williams also ran five times for 16 yards.
Why It Matters: For the first 20 or so minutes on Sunday night, Williams looked like he had elevated his game to another level. Then it was like someone flipped a switch, and the USC product reverted to every bad habit he’d shown during his first two seasons while turning up on the volume on those issues to 11. Williams’ accuracy dried up, and he threw four interceptions before rallying late to hit Colston Loveland on a busted coverage to set up the game-winning score. The Bears have their bye in Week 10, which should allow the offense to regroup after a rough final 40 minutes. As for Williams, he ran a bit more than he had since returning from injury, which is a good sign. While still not a truly safe QB1, Williams does carry top-10 potential when in plus matchups.
