UPDATE: The Chicago Bears are riding high at 6-3 this November, thanks to the dynamic pairing of rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Their innovative offensive strategy and Williams’ remarkable escapability have propelled the team into contention, captivating fans and analysts alike.
In a thrilling matchup against the New York Giants, Williams showcased his talents with a stunning 27-yard gain that set up a crucial touchdown, leaving fans on the edge of their seats. Coach Johnson reflected on the electrifying moment, saying,
“I’m thinking I’m the best coach in America. I mean, that’s a hell of a play call, wasn’t it?”
Williams, who was sacked a staggering 68 times last season, is seeing a different game this year. With a significantly improved offensive line, Williams has only been sacked 14 times in 2025, tying the Bears with the Packers, Rams, and Falcons for the third-fewest sacks allowed. The addition of players like Drew Dalman, Jonah Jackson, and Joe Thuney has fortified the line, allowing Williams to focus on executing plays.
Facing the Giants, Williams executed a masterful play action that turned into a naked bootleg, showcasing his speed and agility. With a crucial block from tight end Cole Kmet, he dashed into the end zone, clinching the lead for the Bears. Williams remarked, “I consider myself one of the better athletes on the field,” emphasizing that while he can create on the fly, the team’s offensive timing has been a significant focus.
Johnson’s offense ranks third in the NFL with an impressive average of 379.8 yards per game. Williams is on track to become the first Bears quarterback to surpass 4,000 passing yards in a season, a milestone that underscores his growth and the team’s potential.
The Bears have demonstrated resilience in clutch situations, with Williams’ ability to evade pressure being a game-changer. Johnson noted, “I’ve got a lot of confidence in our line right now and what they’re doing. We’ve got some really clean pockets,” while also recognizing Williams’ unique talent to turn potential disasters into big plays.
As the Bears continue their season, the focus is on maintaining their momentum and enhancing offensive efficiency. Johnson stated, “We don’t want to take away that natural instinct he has, but if we stay in here, I think this unlocks even more of your game.”
With their sights set on the playoffs, all eyes will be on Williams and Johnson as they aim to solidify their place in NFL history. Fans are eagerly anticipating how this partnership will evolve as the Bears push forward in the 2025 season.
