QUARTERBACK: C

For the second consecutive game, Caleb Williams had to do way too much himself. He threw a 44-yard pass to a wide-open Rome Odunze in the second quarter, but that was a rare instance where a downfield receiver was open at all. With the Bears unable to fend off increasing pressure, Williams was sacked six times and wasn’t much better than last week — 22 of 41 for 217 yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions for a 68.9 passer rating.

The absence of injured defensive end Montez Sweat figured to impair the Bears’ pass rush, but it was their run defense that fell apart without their star.
