The Bears QB was flagged for two intentional grounding penalties in the second quarter, but he might have made the right throw on one of them.

Caleb Williams may not be the man to blame for his second intentional grounding penalty in the 30-16 loss against the Baltimore Ravens.

It was a bad play in a big moment-- the Bears were trying to score points before halftime, and the flag both knocked the team out of field goal range and forced head coach Ben Johnson to burn his final timeout-- and Williams was shredded for it.
