NFL Makes Final Decision on Punishment for Two Bears’ Starters
Every Saturday, the NFL releases a list of players who received fines, with 24 players penalized for their actions during Week 10. Unfortunately for the Chicago Bears, two key starters were given hefty fines: safety Kevin Byard III and pass rusher Austin Booker.
A big part of their success has come on the shoulders of second-year quarterback Caleb Williams, who leads the NFL in fourth quarter comebacks this season with four. Head coach Ben Johnson said he doesn't notice a change in his quarterback's demeanor in the late game situations, but believes Williams has confidence and comfort in them.
Caleb Williams, the second overall pick in the 2024 draft, has not only overcome an 0-2 start to put the Bears in playoff position, but through nine games is on pace to throw for 4,035 yards. This would shatter the current franchise high of 3,838 yards thrown by Erik Kramer in 1995.
After totaling six drops -- four of which belonged to Olamide Zaccheaus -- there's an expectation that a bigger role will emerge for rookie second-round pick Luther Burden III, who's been one of Chicago's best playmakers whenever his number has been called.
