Bears beat Panthers 36-10, Has Caleb Williams arrived? | Breakfast Ball
The Chicago Bears beat the Carolina Panthers 36-10 in a rout led by Caleb Williams’ 304 yards and 2 TDs. Craig Carton and Danny Parkins discuss the win and ask if Caleb Williams has officially arrived in the NFL.
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams had a head-scratching moment during the team’s Week 6 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Sunday.
In the first quarter, while trailing 3-0, Williams dropped back to pass and tried to flick the ball up the field with a sidearm pass. However, the rookie quarterback threw the ball right into the facemask of Bears offensive lineman Matt Pryor.

The play immediately went viral and Williams faced some scrutiny over it.
In the second quarter, Williams made up for it with a nifty play-action pass. He faked out the Jaguars’ defense and found tight end Cole Kmet up the seam. Kmet went through one Jacksonville would-be tackler and scampered into the end zone.

Chicago took a 14-3 lead into the locker room.
Williams was 12-of-15 for 128 yards, two touchdown passes and an interception. He also led the team with 56 rushing yards.
Williams has found success in spurts through five games this season. The No. 1 overall pick showcased his passing ability in a 36-10 win over the Carolina Panthers last week when he threw for 304 yards and two touchdowns.
