Interestingly, he and Caleb’s stats are pretty close, if not nearly identical, up to this point—even in rushing yards. I couldn’t help but notice that in the last game against Philly, it appeared Johnson leaned more toward a West Coast offense while still utilizing outside/inside zone blocking for the run game. Both Swift and Monangai eclipsed 100 rushing yards, which I suspect is because Johnson recognizes that Williams isn’t yet ready to make “splash” plays and wants to continue developing his learning curve. Williams’ passing looked much as you described: primarily short passes, with the occasional longer attempt when available (like the TD to Kmet late in the game). What you observed with Nix is largely what I saw in Williams as well; the difference, in my opinion, is that Nix simply looked more polished executing it.

Moody plays hero again. This time for Washington to put the game into OT with Denver. He’s had quite the journeyman season this year .

Nope. His knee hit about a millisecond after releasing the ball. Night has been one of highlights with this amazing catch by Burks. His second career TD.

Saw a social media post that noted both Chicago and New England were the leaders of their respective divisions then asked ‘what is this 1985?’ And saw an incredible play by Bo Nix a little bit ago that ‘yes’ somehow resulted in a TD pass.

Carolina (and their own #1 overall chosen QB) doing all they can to help Bears take possession of the #1 NFC seed. Currently up 31-28 on the Rams. With that should the Bears see the Rams somewhere later in the season, it should give Chicago a good blueprint to play them. edit: Carolina wins after forcing a TO on Rams last drive.

I started the season skeptical of Johnson. After the bye week when he adjusted and made the Bears focus more on the run game I became more of a believer in his ability to coach properly. I said this season reminds me of 2018 2.0 but what’s missing (so far) are the bone headed challenges, timeouts and other head scratching play calls that Nagy was notorious for, even that year. Today was a master class of play calling. Johnson went in knowing the weather would be a factor and kept Williams in the ‘game manager’ setting and didn’t ask him to make splash plays. Fortunately he didn’t have to. The running game and its blocking has advanced to a level we haven’t seen in many decades. This is really cool. I can say confidently; “In Ben I trust”.

Love this look. Lol.

I spoke too soon! Lol.

Seems fitting both TDs are of the rushing variety.

Grew up watching lots of Nebraska football. You’re absolutely right. This was their bread and butter back in the day. All they need to do now is keep running the ball.

How was that NOT DPi?

Loveland still playing clutch. And Bears running at will.

Nashon Wright with a redemption play during the fu*#ing Tush Push. Gawd I hate that play.

Screen but still… yeah.
