Caleb Williams’ Bears career was born in Buffalo.
One year and one week ago, he took the field for the first time in an NFL preseason game, whipping passes and pump-faking opponents on his way to field goals on his only two possessions. By the time he left the field with a 101.8 passer rating — and that was after two of his seven passes were dropped — Bears fans had reason to believe. Williams seemed to be the Bears’ long-awaited answer under center.
When he takes the field Sunday against the same Bills for his first preseason action of the year, Williams won’t be significantly closer to being the franchise’s long-promised franchise quarterback than he was a year ago.
