Caleb Williams leads the Bears to a crucial victory, but not without some frustrating moments for the quarterback. Despite struggling with deep shots and fumbling away a touchdown, Williams threw for three touchdowns and helped his team secure a 31-28 win over the Steelers.
Williams' performance was a mixed bag, with him showing flashes of brilliance on the field, but also making some critical mistakes. The quarterback's struggles with deep throws were well-documented, and he was inaccurate at times when throwing over the middle. However, Williams also showed his ability to make plays outside of his comfort zone, including a 25-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Deonte Moore that avenged a taunting penalty by Moore earlier in the game.
The Bears' defense, which was missing several key players due to injury, held up surprisingly well against the Steelers' offense. The unit's performance was bolstered by the return of linebacker Montez Sweat, who had two sacks and helped to contain the Steelers' running back Kenneth Gainwell.
Coach Ben Johnson praised his team's effort, saying that they were able to find ways to slow down the Steelers' pass-rushing group and execute their cadence well. The victory marked a significant step forward for the Bears, who improved to 8-3 and maintained their grip on first place in the NFC North.
For Williams, however, the win was bittersweet. Despite his team's success, he couldn't help but feel frustrated with his own performance, particularly when it came to deep shots and fumbling away a touchdown. The quarterback acknowledged that he needs to work on these areas of his game, saying "it starts with me" and that he is always looking for ways to improve.
The win sets the stage for an important matchup next week against the Eagles, who are seeking to avenge their loss to the Bears earlier in the season. Williams and his team will need to be at the top of their game if they hope to come out on top once again.

I mean, Caleb Williams is like, super talented, right? 
But, you know, he had some major brain farts out there 
, especially with those deep shots. Like, what's going through his head when he throws an interception? 
But for real tho, the dude's got game 
and he's always looking to improve. I feel like it's only gonna get better from here 
. The Bears' defense was straight fire 
though! Montez Sweat is a beast 
and the coach said all the right things about executing their cadence... I think Coach Ben Johnson knows what's up 
... Caleb's gotta bounce back from that tough game 
. He shows glimpses of genius out there, but those deep throws are just not falling 4 him 
. And that fumble was super frustrating 
. But at least he's ownin' up to it & sayin' it starts w/ him 
Caleb Williams needs 2 work on them deep throws & fumblin' skills, can't just rely on his arm strength alone 
and now it's all about the Eagles game next week... gotta see how this team handles pressure 
. He makes these incredible plays, but then there are those frustrating moments where he just can't seem to connect... it's like, what's going on in that head of his? 
Anyway, I think the real key is for him to work on those deep shots and fumbling issues - Coach Johnson said it starts with him, so here's hoping he takes that to heart 
And let's be real, Deonte Moore's 25-yard TD pass was a total game-changer 
Plus, Coach Ben Johnson's praise for his team's effort shows he believes in them too - that's all anyone can ask for! 
. I mean, you can't just rely on one aspect of your game and expect to win every time. He needs to work on those areas and trust his instincts more.
. Three TDs, but also a ton of mistakes. You gotta feel for him, though - that kid's gotta be eating some slices of humble pie right now. The defense held down, but if the offense had it together, this game wouldn't even go to OT 
. i'm all about him taking ownership of his mistakes and working on those deep throws 
...but williams needs to step up his game if they wanna take down those eagles next week 
... he's all over the place sometimes and it's only a matter of time before that deep shot lands in the end zone and costs them the game 
! And Montez Sweat was on fire 
!
