The Chicago Bears faced an uphill battle against the Indianapolis Colts in a 21-16 loss, highlighting rookie quarterback Caleb Williams' mixed performance. Despite achieving his first 300-yard game with two touchdowns, Williams struggled with execution and decision-making.
The Bears' defense held strong at times, even intercepting Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson twice, but the offense could not capitalize on these opportunities. Play-calling decisions also raised eyebrows, as the team failed to effectively run against a weak Colts defense.
Williams displayed flashes of potential, connecting on impressive passes, but also made critical errors. A late-game fumble effectively sealed the game for the Colts, leaving Williams with much to learn moving forward.
