Bears' Caleb Williams blames himself for not throwing better pass on his crucial INT against Packers

(AP) — Just when it appeared Caleb Williams was on the verge of completing yet another fourth-quarter comeback, he made a regrettable pass on Sunday that knocked the Chicago Bears out of the NFC North lead. The Bears trailed 28-21 and faced fourth-and-1 from Green Bay’s 14-yard line when Williams faked a handoff and rolled to his left. Rather than checking down or trying to run for the first down, Williams threw into the end zone.

Key Highlights

  • Nixon made a leaping grab with 22 seconds left, and the Bears' five-game winning streak ended as they fell a half-game behind the Packers in the division.“In those moments, it’s you know, a got-to-have-it-moment,” said Williams, who went 19 of 35 for 186 yards with two touchdowns.
  • “And they had a guy trailing me, so, I didn’t feel like I could go get it myself (by running).
  • I’ve just got to give Cole a better shot at it.
  • I think next time, just extend him a little bit more and kind of lead him.
  • But in those moments, you want to put the ball in play and trust your guy or try to have your guy go make a play, and (I’ve) just got to give him a better ball.”Williams had faked a handoff to D’Andre Swift, who then appeared to be open just beyond the first-down marker. Chicago coach Ben Johnson said the Bears ran a similar play in their previous game, a win at Philadelphia, and it resulted in a 28-yard touchdown pass from Williams to Kmet.
