INDIANAPOLIS - Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams was surprised to learn of his passing output when made aware of how often he threw the ball in Chicago's 21-16 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

"I threw the ball 52 times?" Williams asked. "Jeez."

Williams set the Bears (1-2) single-game rookie passing record against the Colts upon completing 33 of 52 attempts for 363 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions with an 80.8 passer rating. The No. 1 overall pick had 267 passing yards combined in Chicago's first two games of the season.
