Chicago Bears panic meter after brutal collapse in Week 1 vs. Vikings

Just when it looked like Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears were going to pick up a dominant Week 1 win against J.J. McCarthy and the Minnesota Vikings during a Week 1 primeitme matchup, but a nightmare of a fourth quarter helped Chicago fall in defeat by a 27-24 scoreline.

Between Williams' second-half collapse and JJ McCarthy going from Caleb Hanie to Tom Brady once the fourth quarter came around, things are looking glum. Williams' 268 total yards and two touchdowns were overshadowed by some of his big misses down the stretch.

While Bears fans want to burn everything down after choking against a division rival, there should be different levels of alarm.
