When Caleb Williams celebrated the Bears’ first touchdown Sunday, he found some breathing room for the first time since Week 1.

Before Roschon Johnson’s 1-yard plunge into the end zone in the second quarter of an eventual 24-18 win against the Rams, the Bears hadn’t led for almost two-and-a-half games — 144 minutes and 18 seconds — dating to the end of their season-opening win against the Titans. Even in the opener, they led for only 7 minutes and 28 seconds.
