DETROIT — Caleb Williams could see what Matt Eberflus couldn’t.
The Ford Field game clock was ticking down Thursday with the Bears down by three. The rookie quarterback had been sacked with 32 seconds to play at the Bears’ 41 and starting waving his both hands in the air to get his receivers back to the line of scrimmage quickly.
Williams called a play at the line of scrimmage, then changed Rome Odunze’s route with 13 seconds to play. The reason: he figured the Bears didn’t have enough time to throw a short completion and take a timeout, the way Eberflus had hoped.
