Caleb Williams led the Bears' offense past the 400-yard mark for the first time this season, and he established the big-play connection with DJ Moore that he had wanted.

On Sunday, Williams was spectacular as the Bears looked to climb back above .500 against the Carolina Panthers. The rookie No. 1 pick completed 20-of-29 passes for 304 yards and two touchdowns (while also rushing for 34 yards) in a performance where he was more or less in rhythm for the entire afternoon in a dominant 36-10 win.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams spent his first month in the NFL alternating between showing brief flashes that made him the Heisman Trophy winner and a No. 1 overall pick and a rookie dealing with the NFL’s unforgiving learning curve.
