Quarterback Caleb Williams looked like an MVP candidate to start the game. The Bears went down the field and Williams found receiver Rome Odunze not once, but twice for touchdowns. Odunze dropped the first, caught the second, and the Bears had the lead, 7-0. It was 14-0 after one quarter of play.
The second quarter was one to forget. Three interceptions from Williams turned rowdy Soldier Field into a more confused lull that the Bears looked like they might not escape.
The offense never scored another touchdown, but courtesy of a Jaylon Johnson interception and a couple of Cairo Santos field goals, the Bears survived the Buccaneers, 27-24.
A 7-2 start never felt so good. On to the grades.

“Johnson did not seem happy after the game with the media. Short answers. Perhaps Johnson is getting tired of the amount of criticism about his game that has not been up to Johnson’s standards”
Uh, I know the style is to use last names after the first reference, but this section is pretty hard to follow. I assume this was Jaylon, Jaylon, Ben?
