On August 18th, 2025, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams faced challenges in the Bears' preseason game against the Chiefs. The game, which took place on August 18th, saw the Bears trailing 17-0 before Williams started to move the ball effectively.
Williams acknowledged that some of the issues stemmed from timing, trusting his receivers, and keeping his feet and eyes in sync. He missed an open receiver at one point due to his feet being too fast, and he took an unnecessary sack that he was frustrated with. Williams also dealt with an equipment malfunction, as his helmet mic kept coming loose, adding to his frustrations.
Despite the early struggles, Williams was able to lead a touchdown drive in the two-minute drill, and the starting offense scored 10 points, all against Kansas City's backups. Williams sees the preseason as an opportunity to work on these issues and get the offense in sync before the regular season begins.
