Can Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears continue a trend of sharp passing from losses to Green Bay and Minnesota, but do it on the road with little practice time? Here's who wins and why.
It's not easy to pass off what the Bears did last week as some sort of fluke game by quarterback Caleb Williams.
To his credit, Williams saw no victory within the loss, even if many Bears fans accustomed to quarterbacks falling on their faces did. "So. Ya know, with that, I wouldn't say I passed or failed. We lost. I didn't do enough at the end of that game to be able to help the team win."The important part of that game and the rest of this lost Bears season is about getting the chance to learn, improve and on Thanksgiving go against a Super Bowl level opponent, even while trying to snap a five-game losing streak.
The Lions blitz only 4% fewer plays than the Vikings do, but can be more effective at it even though they're 22nd in sacks. The reason is they have safeties Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch being ballhawks and taking advantage of the heat being applied. They don't have to get the sacks. The heat is enough. Detroit will run blitz to prevent gains of 4 to 9 yards on first or second down and force teams into passing situations. They hurt the Bears with this tactic before.
