The Bears rookie struggled to get in rhythm but a blocked punt return and two interceptions keyed a comeback from a 17-0 deficit for a 24-17 win over Tennessee.
The theme heading into the season for the Bears was getting Caleb Williams to rely on his teammates to do their job and so he did.
"I would say, offensive play, obviously we didn't perform how we wanted to," Williams said. "We want to be the most efficient team out there, myself included. Didn't perform the way that I wanted to. I missed a few passes that I normally don't miss." They held the Titans were held to 65 total second-half yards and the Bears began taking the ball away.
Levis then threw an ill-advised flip while in the grasp of DeMarcus Walker on what looked to be a third-down sack and the ball went right to Tyrique Stevenson along the sidelines, and he took it back 43 yards for the winning points. Williams threw a two-point conversion pass after Stevenson's return."The guys did a nice job in the second half," coach Matt Eberflus said. "Obviously blocking that punt was a big spark. Hardy did an awesome job with that and scooping it up by J.O.
"We're going to get better tomorrow. We've got this little period where you take the next 15 hours or so, then you reset and get ready for Houston next week. We’re going to enjoy this win."
