Caleb Williams provided a blueprint for beating 49ers in postseason

42. 49ers-Bears final. 38. 57. Final. 42

It ended up not being Caleb Williams' night against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football, but the Chicago Bears quarterback might have unwittingly laid the groundwork for letting others power past the Niners in the playoffs.

Like the Indianapolis Colts' Philip Rivers and others before him this season, Williams managed to find his way through San Francisco's defense, to the tune of 330 yards and two touchdowns. And in doing so, Chicago's signal-caller exposed the easiest ways to beat the 49ers in their present state on defense.
