Bears quarterback Caleb Williams had a great game in Week 1, then got hurt at the end of a disappointing game in Week 2. After returning and playing another great game in Week 6, Bears coach Ben Johnson wants to see Williams do it again in Week 7.
Asked if Williams’ performance in Sunday’s win over the Falcons showed that he benefited from his time on the sideline while injured, Johnson disputed that. But he did say he wants to see Williams show he can play well every single week.
“I don’t know about that. We saw a lot of that across the course of camp as well,” Johnson said of Williams’ stellar play in Week 6. “He put together a good performance, and the key with him and the rest of the guys is to stack good performances, back to back to back. Thats’ what the good ones do.”
Williams has shown a lot of improvement, going from 32nd in the NFL in completion percentage last year to first this year. Now Johnson looks forward to seeing if Williams can show that consistency in back-to-back weeks.
