The Bears managed to beat the Saints on Sunday despite quarterback Caleb Williams playing arguably his worst game of the season, but that is not a viable blueprint going forward.

The biggest concern continues to be his completion percentage, which has actually dropped over the last three games. He completed a season-low 57.7% of his passes against the Saints, hitting on 15 of 26, but benefitted from an overwhelming Bears defense and vigorous rushing attack to win 26-14.

That dropped him to 61.1% for the season, which sits in the NFL’s bottom third and well below the 70% goal coach Ben Johnson set going into training camp.
