The Chicago Bears’ offense was doing things Sunday that haven’t been seen in a long time, or ever.
Tight end Cole Kmet was forced into long-snapping duties because of an injury, and he also caught two touchdown passes. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams threw four touchdown passes, the most for a Bears rookie since Cade McNown in 1999. Williams has nine passing touchdowns, already tied for the fourth most by a Bears rookie in a single season in franchise history.
It started when Williams faked a pass to his left and then to his right on the Bears’ third drive, he found Kmet open over the middle of the field for a 31-yard touchdown. The tight end broke two tackles around his ankles and scored to give the Bears their first lead of the game over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was the second-longest touchdown of his career.
Williams led the Bears on a 10-play, 85-yard scoring drive before halftime. He picked up two first downs with his legs: a 23-yard scramble that got Chicago to midfield ahead of the two-minute warning, and a 19-yard run after escaping the pocket to get the Bears down to the goal line. The rookie once again found Kmet in the end zone for a touchdown to give the Bears a 14-3 lead.
Williams added a third TD pass in the third quarter when he found Keenan Allen for a 9-yard score. Williams became the first Bears rookie to throw three touchdowns since Cade McNown had four in one game and three in another in 1999.
Allen caught Williams’ fourth TD pass early in the fourth quarter as the Bears rolled to a 35-16 win in London. The Bears are now 4-2 heading into a Bye Week.
