Bears QB Caleb Williams' 'weird' inaccuracy a sign of how much room there is yet to grow

With three tight ends crouched at the line of scrimmage and a running back behind him, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams took a first-down snap in the second quarter Sunday and faked a handoff to Kyle Monangai to his right.

With a clean pocket, Williams drifted back and to his right, planted his right heel into the Soldier Field turf and rifled a post pass to an open Luther Burden, who was split left.

The ball flew a foot-and-a-half over his head. Burden leapt, and the ball went between his hands and fell to the ground.
