During the preseason, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams said he doesn’t get nervous before or during football games. The rookie quarterback does get frustrated, however.
Sunday’s 24-17 was agitating for the Bears’ offense. Williams threw for a total of 93 yards. The offensive line couldn’t block for the run or pass. The Bears added just 84 yards on the ground.
The Tennessee Titans are bitter after the loss
Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons bitterly stated after the game that the Bears offense did nothing impressive in their win on Sunday. Simmons and the Titans’ defense had a great game against the Bears, but they’d leave Soldier Fields disappointed after their offensive and special teams units let a 17-0 lead dissipate into a seven-point loss.
Caleb Williams was frustrated on Sunday
Following the game, Williams said he “felt great” after beating the Titans but was frustrated with the offense’s performance in Week 1.
“It was a frustrating game,” Williams said. “I’ll be honest–I feel great. I understand the stats weren’t what we wanted them to be.”

Williams and the Bears offense will have to regroup quickly before traveling to Texas to take on a tough Houston Texans defense. The Bears struggling offensive line will play defensive ends Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter.
The Chicago Bears defense bailed out Williams & Co.
Williams used to try to bail out USC’s defenses in college by putting up points in earnest to win games. Williams was thankful the defense carried the Bears to a victory on Sunday. He said the offense has much to improve on before Week 2.
“It’s the NFL. It’s hard to win in this league. We’re excited but we’ve got a lot more to get better at,” Williams said.
