Bears' Johnson Notes Caleb Williams' Growth Despite 52-21 Loss to Lions

News summary

Despite the Chicago Bears' 0-2 start and a heavy 52-21 loss to the Detroit Lions, head coach Ben Johnson expressed optimism about quarterback Caleb Williams' development, noting significant growth in his decision-making and progression through reads from Week 1 to Week 2. Williams completed 19 of 30 passes for 207 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the loss, showing improvement in his passer rating and QBR despite some mistakes and a tendency to hold the ball too long. The Bears' defense, however, struggled significantly, allowing over 500 yards and contributing heavily to the defeat, while offensive line protection issues further complicated Williams' performance. Johnson acknowledged these challenges but remains confident in his coaching staff and the team's potential to improve, emphasizing the importance of play style and execution. Running back D'Andre Swift and other players maintain a positive outlook despite the tough start, focusing on moving forward. The team now prepares to face the Dallas Cowboys at home, aiming to reverse their fortunes.
