Caleb Williams isn't the first rookie quarterback to struggle out of the gate. Patience is needed and warranted. The Bears have sent the right message to Williams and his response will tell a lot about where they are headed.

The Houston Texans moved to 2-0 on Sunday night, defeating Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears, 19-13. While Chicago never led in this game, the Bears kept things close thanks to an impressive defensive effort that attempted to support a sputtering offense.

On the opening possession of the second half Sunday night, Caleb Williams had the ball in his hands with a chance to lead a go-ahead touchdown drive. It was third-and-3 from the 37-yard line, and Williams had a window of opportunity to hit the kind of big play the Chicago Bears offense so desperately needs.
