"Caleb Williams needed this. Ben Johnson needed this. The Chicago Bears, more than anyone, needed this. The Bears dismantled the Cowboys on Sunday, 31-14, with an offense that finally resembled the one fans had imagined when Williams was drafted first overall and Johnson was hired to orchestrate a rebuild. It was fast. It was explosive. It was bruising. It was fun."
"With four minutes left in the first quarter, Johnson dialled up a flea flicker. Williams pitched the ball to running back D'Andre Swift to attack the line of scrimmage. But it was a fake-out. Swift turned and tossed the ball back to Williams. The ball hung in the air, but, in an instant, Williams gathered it, surveyed the field and threw a 65-yard dot to Rome Odunze."
Caleb Williams overcame early-season unevenness to lead the Chicago Bears to a 31-14 rout of the Cowboys. Ben Johnson's offense clicked with speed, explosiveness and physicality, producing the franchise's most exhilarating play in a generation. A flea-flicker resulted in a 65-yard completion to Rome Odunze and swung momentum. By halftime Williams was 10-for-16 for 239 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, posting a 145.8 passer rating. The performance showcased improved accuracy, sharper decision-making and an offense that finally resembled the one envisioned when Williams was drafted and Johnson was hired.
