Caleb Williams dissects the misstep on his throw to DJ Moore in Bears’ season opener
In a performance that can best be described as “fine,” Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams faced mixed reviews during the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. While he showcased moments of brilliance, he also had a few miscalculations—most notably, a glaring missed touchdown opportunity to wide receiver DJ Moore.
With just 2:30 remaining in the game, Williams and the Bears were in a position to seize victory. The chance for a touchdown hung tantalizingly in the air, but the connection between quarterback and receiver fell short.
A video clip circulating on social media captured the moment, prompting reactions from fans and analysts alike. The footage highlighted just how close Williams was to hitting Moore for a critical score. One user remarked, “How did Caleb Williams miss DJ Moore by this much… it might be time to have some conversations.”
In the aftermath, Williams took the time to reflect on what went wrong. He acknowledged the importance of that throw in a tightly contested game and expressed his desire to learn from the experience. The quarterback emphasized that these moments are crucial for growth and development, especially as he navigates the challenges of his rookie season.
As the Bears look to bounce back, all eyes will be on Williams to see how he responds to this setback and whether he can capitalize on future opportunities. The journey is just beginning, and for the young signal-caller, every throw counts.
