In a performance Bears coach Matt Eberflus classified as a 'professional day at quarterback,' Chicago rookie Caleb Williams completed 6 of 13 passes for 75 yards, adding in a rushing touchdown as well, in a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday.

She previously worked at the San Jose Mercury News as a multimedia sports journalist.
The Williams-Odunze connection highlighted why the Bears used their top two picks at Nos. 1 and 9 on the quarterback and wide receiver, respectively. After the two failed to connect on a red zone play last week at Buffalo, the symmetry the two showed off Saturday has Williams eager for their potential."We're going to be explosive," Williams said of his connection with Odunze.
Williams said postgame that his natural inclination, even when scrambling, is to throw the ball. Learning to take what the defense gave him in that situation put him in position to rush for a score. Bears coach Matt Eberflus classified Williams' second preseason outing as a"professional day at quarterback" which saw the No. 1 overall pick complete 6 of 13 passes for 75 yards and a rushing touchdown. Eberflus said that the coaching staff did not adjust the amount of plays Williams received Saturday based on the offense's rough start, and intimated that the plan all along was for the quarterback to play throughout the first half.
