aleb Williams has shown notable progress in his first two games under interim offensive coordinator Thomas Brown. The improvement is evident. After struggling through three consecutive losses from Weeks 8-10, the Bears fired Shane Waldron and replaced him with Brown. Since then, Williams has gone from averaging 156 passing yards per game and no touchdowns to averaging 285.5 yards and two touchdowns in Week 12.
Williams credited time on task as a key factor in his growth. He emphasized the importance of consistent practice and communication with coaches and teammates. However, Brown’s promotion as play-caller has played a significant role as well. Under Brown, the offense has become more organized, and Williams has benefited from better protection, leading to improved passing.
Despite losing five straight games, the Bears have shown renewed optimism, playing tough games against NFC North contenders. Their remaining schedule is challenging, with tough matchups against the Detroit Lions, San Francisco, Minnesota, Green Bay, and Seattle.
While the results may not immediately reflect a bright future, Williams’ performance in the past two games has silenced doubts. The Bears now focus on the future, with Williams as their franchise quarterback.
