Bears QB Caleb Williams checking his footwork and passing fundamentals before facing the Lions
Caleb Williams is addressing early season missed throws by improving footwork and passing to enhance his performance in upcoming games, coach says.
- In Ben Johnson’s debut as head coach, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams competed at Soldier Field on September 8, 2025, facing off with the Minnesota Vikings.
- The Bears spent the offseason aiming to improve Williams after an inconsistent rookie year marked by accuracy issues and a 62.5% completion rate last season.
- Williams scrambled well and ran 20.45 mph, reported as the NFL's eighth-fastest time for Week 1, but his throws to open receivers often went into the ground or sailed wide.
- Williams completed 21 of 35 passes for 210 yards, and Johnson commented that when Williams executed his plays correctly, he released the ball promptly and threw with precision.
- The Bears lost 27-24, and both Williams and Johnson emphasized the need to sharpen the offense and correct errors like false starts to improve future performance.
