The Chicago Bears continue to roll. Head coach Ben Johnson has already won more road games in his first season than Matt Eberflus did during his three seasons.
More importantly, it seems that quarterback Caleb Williams is getting his act together. The decision-making has been better, the ability to read coverage and go through his progressions has been better, and he’s been much more efficient.
Former NFL QB Dan Orlovsky recently took to social media to show how the Bears QB is emerging as a “problem solver.”
“In the last three weeks Caleb has accounted for 231 hidden yards of offense. Becoming a problem solver for [the Chicago Bears],” Orlovsky wrote on X.

For those who aren’t familiar with the term, hidden yards are ones that would’ve been a negative play and instead are turned into positive or neutral plays. For instance, if Williams avoids a would-be sack for a loss of 10 yards by throwing the ball out of bounds, he’s accounted for 10 hidden yards.
Williams had a worrisome tendency to hold on to the ball too long or seek out big plays as a rookie. While most of his sacks were the fault of his offensive line, he also deserved his fair share of blame.
It hasn’t always been pretty, but the talent is there. The Bears have done a better job of developing him, and he’s likely to keep getting better under this coaching staff.
