Trailing 20-3 near the end of the first half, Williams and the offense orchestrated a seven-play, 78-yard scoring drive, delivering big throws downfield. Williams found Olamide Zaccheaus for a 25-yard completion in the middle of the field and nearly connected with Rome Odunze on a deep jump ball that would have put the Bears in prime scoring position.

Bears fans have plenty to be excited about this coming season. A new head coach in Ben Johnson, a budding quarterback in Caleb Williams, and a quality pass-catching group led by wide receiver Rome Odunze are among the many glimmers of hope for a Chicago team looking to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2020.
