When the Bears have the ball

Caleb Williams is coming off a bye week with a lot to prove after a choppy-at-best — but winning — performance against the Raiders. He struggled throughout but engineered an 11-play, 69-yard touchdown drive in the final 6:45.

But the focus probably should be on the Bears’ offensive line and protection scheme, especially against a hit-and-miss Commanders defense under Dan Quinn. Washington shut down the Chargers (10 points, none in the last three quarters) in a 27-10 victory last week when it was able to harass Justin Herbert (four sacks, nine quarterback hits) but was vulnerable in a 34-27 loss to the Falcons the week before with much less pressure on Michael Penix Jr.
