Bears Win First NFL Game as Williams Throws Four Touchdowns

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after a standout performance in the team's 31-14 win over the Dallas Cowboys, throwing four touchdown passes to four different receivers and achieving a season-high 298 yards with no interceptions. This game marked Williams' first award in his career and the Bears' first win of the season, helping them avoid an 0-3 start and showcasing his growing comfort with head coach Ben Johnson's offense. While the victory was significant, some analysts noted the Cowboys' historically poor defense, raising questions about whether Williams' performance is a sign of future stardom or an outlier. The Bears also received positive injury news, as rookie tight end Colston Loveland's hip injury is not serious, and he is expected to play in the upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Williams' offensive line also improved significantly, allowing him to avoid sacks for the first time in 20 NFL games, contributing to a highly efficient game with a passer rating of 142.6. The team and coach Johnson remain focused on building momentum as they prepare for their next challenge in Week 4.
