Most Chicago Bears fans would agree that quarterback Caleb Williams did not have the best game in their 19-17 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
Williams finished by completing just 50% of his passes for 193 yards, adding another 26 rushing yards in the win. His completion percentage was the worst of the season for the second-year signal caller.
Bears head coach Ben Johnson was asked about Williams' performance in the game. While there are some areas where Williams needs improvement, Johnson was focused on one thing he did well.
"The best thing he did was keep the ball out of harm's way. He did a good job throwing the ball away when it wasn't there. All in all, I thought he played a pretty solid football game."
Turnovers by Williams is an important stat to determine Bears' success
Chicago, unsurprisingly, is better when Williams can protect the football than put it in harm's way. This season, the Bears are 2-2 when Williams throws an interception, but 5-1 when he exits the game without throwing an interception.
Williams' 597% completion percentage leaves a lot to be desired, as it has been a constant problem all season. Over the last two weeks, though, more of the problem could be placed on the receivers who have been dropping the ball at an alarming rate.
One positive aspect of Williams' game is that he protects the football better than most quarterbacks in the NFL. He has yet to have a game this season where he has thrown more than one interception, and he's only done that twice in his career.

Bears fans can hang on to the fact that Williams' decision-making won't be the reason the team loses for the most part. Something needs to be fixed with his accuracy, and he should work on being more efficient with the passes he throws, whether that's on him or the receivers.
