Caleb Williams, Bears Celebrated By NFL Fans in Win vs. Matthew Stafford, Rams

The Chicago Bears are back to .500.

Chicago snapped its two-game losing streak with a 24-18 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at Soldier Field and improved to 2-2 in the process. While Caleb Williams didn't put up monster numbers at 17-of-23 passing for 157 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions, he made a number of big plays in the second half to earn the home win.

He was also helped by running back D'Andre Swift, who bounced back from his early season struggles with 93 rushing yards, 72 receiving yards and one touchdown.

The Bears defense also delivered when needed, and Jaquan Brisker's interception in the final minute clinched the win.

But much of the social-media focus was on Williams in the aftermath:

Chicago's offense was under the spotlight going into Sunday's game, as it entered play an abysmal 30th in the league in yards per game despite high expectations surrounding Williams as the No. 1 overall pick and a group of pass-catchers that includes DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze and Cole Kmet.

Things looked about the same out of the gates with punts on the Bears' first three possessions. They did take advantage of a short field following a turnover with a Roschon Johnson touchdown and added a field goal to take a 10-6 lead into intermission, but there was still a feeling of what could have been.

Williams missed two potential touchdown throws late in the half, including one to a wide-open Moore. The crowd booed the offense multiple times throughout the early stages of the game as the frustration from the start of the season carried over.

Those boos disappeared in the second half.

The rookie signal-caller directed one of Chicago's best drives of the season after halftime and marched 74 yards down the field in 12 plays. He mixed in some short, high-percentage throws before he found Moore for the go-to receiver's first touchdown of the season.

While the Rams responded with a touchdown and put the pressure back on Williams, he delivered with another touchdown drive. His long pass to Kmet moved the Bears into scoring position, and Swift then broke free for a rushing touchdown.

That was all the Chicago defense needed, as Brisker's pick clinched the win and gave the NFC North team some momentum heading into next week's home game against the Carolina Panthers.
