It did not take long for former USC Trojan Caleb Williams to remind the rest of the NFL exactly who he is. The Chicago Bears responded perfectly following their embarrassing loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 5. Caleb Williams returned against the Atlanta Falcons, and this team looked like an NFC contender again.
In his return, Caleb Williams put on a show. He finished the game 30/36, 305 yards through the air, and 1 passing touchdown. This was one of his best passing performances to date. Caleb Williams had a career-high 83.3% completion percentage in this game. That marks the highest completion percentage by a Bears quarterback ever. The biggest doubt about Caleb Williams is his accuracy, and he put that to bed on Sunday. Colston Loveland and Luther Burden were both huge beneficiaries of Caleb's return, as they both had dominant performances.
Tom Brady was infatuated with Caleb WIlliams play all game long. 31 points is exactly what a Bears offense can put up on a consistent basis with Caleb Williams at the helm. Caleb Williams came into this game with a lot on his mind and some doubters he wanted to silence. He did just that and then some.
The Atlanta Falcons are one of the hottest teams in the NFL and a team that has a defense just as good as their explosive offense. The Chicago Bears made the Falcons' defense look like one of the worst units in the NFL instead of a top-ten unit. This was a very encouraging showing for both Caleb Williams and the Bears. The Bears are back on the right track with this victory and should feel confident they can get back on a run.
