Caleb Williams reflects on Chicago Bears divisional round playoff loss
Summary

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams remains focused on the team's season-ending 20-17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams that occurred last winter. Despite a late-game rally that forced overtime, a miscommunication resulted in an interception that allowed the Rams to kick the deciding field goal. Williams identified specific areas for improvement, including accuracy and footwork, while preparing for the 2026 season. The team enters the year with higher expectations following a campaign that included an NFC North title and a playoff victory over the Packers. Williams will work with an expanded group of weapons including Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet, and D’Andre Swift within the offense run by Ben Johnson. The quarterback aims to balance his aggressive playmaking style with smarter decision-making during the upcoming schedule.
