Caleb Williams' biggest Week 4 moment wasn't a play
The Chicago Bears' are a 2-2 on the season after the team's victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
It was another victory, like their season-opener against the Tennessee Titans, that the defense was the reason for the win. However, unlike the win over the Titans, there were signs of life from the Bears' offense. Despite being plagued with penalties during the first half of the game, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense were able to find some flow during the second half.
In talking about the Bears' victory over the Rams, Williams was honest about the issues that the team had to open the game. It is a sign that Williams truly is comfortable as the leader of the Bears' offense.
Another sign was a moment that was captured between Williams and wide receivers DJ Moore and Keenan Allen on the sideline during Sunday's victory.
Caleb Williams is taking ownership of the Bears' offense.
One of the biggest setbacks of the Bears' offense this season has been communication miscues. It's one of the reasons why Marcedes Lewis called out offensive coordinator Shane Waldron this past week. But beyond the communication issues between Waldron and the Bears' offense, Williams hasn't been on the same page with Moore and Allen to open the season.
In Allen's case, Sunday's game was his first game with the Bears since the season-opener against the Titans. As for Moore, there have bene several instances this season where he hasn't been on the same page with his quarterbacks. The result was Williams throwing in one spot while Moore was headed in different direction.
That is why Sunday's sideline interaction between Williams, Moore, and Allen may be the most important takeaway. Williams is taking ownership in not only being the quarterback of the Bears but being the solution for what has been the constant problem for the Bears' offense this season.
