Virtually everything is wrong with the Bears’ offense, evidenced by them firing coordinator Shane Waldron this week after nine games, so blame goes in every direction. It’s certainly not all rookie quarterback Caleb Williams’ fault, but there are problems he can control.
Williams’ accuracy has been an issue all season, a surprise after precision was his hallmark at USC. And lately, another concern has popped up: He’s holding the ball too long.
That cost the Bears potential points against the Patriots when Williams took an eight-yard sack on third-and-seven at the New England 31-yard line and slipped out of field-goal range.
