Some perspective for anyone complaining about how the #Bears have achieved this year's 7-3 record.
Before this year, they had averaged 6 wins a season in the 13 years since Lovie Smith was fired.

#Bears QB Caleb Wiliams in the fourth quarter was 2 of 6 for 38 yards, and he was sacked twice...
He also gets credit for his fifth fourth-quarter comeback this season.

Another #Bears play action stat... Caleb Williams’ passing yards per attempt on play action passes is 8.4, and on all other passes it's 6.8.
So happy to have a head coach who understands how to marry his passing attack to the run game.

I wrote this article back in February, and through nine games, #Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has already surpassed his total passing yards on play action passes, with 692, after having 626 yards in 17 games last year.
