Inside Caleb Williams’ first week with new play-caller — and Thomas Brown’s vision for turning around the Bears

On his first play against the Green Bay Packers, Caleb Williams lined up in shotgun.

Running back D’Andre Swift flanked his left side, wide receiver Rome Odunze in the backfield to the Chicago Bears quarterback’s right. Just before the snap, Williams sent wide receiver DJ Moore in motion.

Then Williams handed off to Swift, who advanced 2 yards upfield.

The gain was limited, the drive ultimately moved enough to set up a 53-yard field goal.

But from the coaches’ box, offensive coordinator Thomas Brown saw his first call differently.
