Bears' QB Caleb Williams faces 'werewolves' in the form of Steelers' pass rush.
Caleb Williams, the Bears quarterback, will be facing a formidable opponent this Sunday against the Steelers. The Steelers are known for their strong pass rush, and Williams will have to use all his skills to avoid getting sacked. Coach Ben Johnson has warned that the Steelers have some "werewolves" on the outside, specifically referencing T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, who have been terrorizing quarterbacks all season.
Williams is still early in his second season, and this game will be a test of his abilities. He went 16-for-32 for 193 yards against the Vikings last week, avoiding interceptions but taking only two sacks. However, he struggled with accuracy, completing just 50% of his passes, which is his lowest completion percentage so far in the season.
The Steelers are third in the NFL with 33 sacks and have gotten pressure on quarterbacks 23.3% of the time, ranking 11th. They've blitzed on 30.7% of pass plays, fourth-highest in the league. Watt is a force to be reckoned with, having already accumulated 114 sacks in his career.
To prepare for this game, the Steelers have signed John Rhys Plumlee, a former quarterback, wide receiver, and return man, to their practice squad. Plumlee studied Williams' film and played the role of Williams during practice to simulate what he'll face on Sunday.
For Williams, it's now or never to turn his season around. He needs to show that he can be an accurate passer under pressure. His completion percentage has been declining, and he's struggling with throws on the run. If he can step up and make some big plays, it could be a turning point for him in his young career.
The game against the Steelers will be a crucial one for Williams and the Bears. It'll be a test of their mettle, and they need to come out on top if they want to stay in contention for a playoff spot.

. If Williams can avoid getting sacked and make some accurate throws under pressure, it could be a turning point for him this season. I'm rooting for him to turn it around and show us what he's capable of 
. I remember when quarterbacks used to be able to just stand tall and avoid getting hit, nowadays it's all about being quick on your feet and making split-second decisions. Williams needs to show some heart and grit if he wants to take down T.J. Watt and co.
. If Williams can keep his cool and make some clutch throws, maybe they can pull off an upset 
. This one's gonna be a real nail-biter, folks!
again this week. 50% completion rate is NOT exactly what you'd call a confidence booster, and taking only two sacks ain't gonna cut it either 
. But hey, at least the Steelers are throwing in some extra help with that John Rhys Plumlee guy... yeah right, like that's gonna make a difference 
.
already having a rough season, now this? 
He needs to bring his A-game (or at least not get sacked too many times) or it's gonna be a long day for the Bears
