GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Chicago Bears avoided disaster in the final moments of Sunday's 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals when rookie quarterback Caleb Williams limped off the field with an injured left ankle.
Williams said postgame that he was "OK," but keeping the potential franchise quarterback in the last stages of a blowout raised some eyebrows. Williams said it wasn't his decision to stay in, and coach Matt Eberflus said Williams was "just getting work and getting timing on the two-minute operation."
It was noted that Williams was in there without his starting two tackles, who were hurt, and Eberflus said: "The starters were left in the game because we're going to fight to the end.
