In his introductory press conference, new OC Thomas Brown promised to change the culture of the offense, the effort by the players, and the production for Williams. All of that was evident despite the 20-19 loss in which Williams did not record a touchdown pass.

QB Caleb Williams is on his second OC and may be on his third next season, which is a tough way to develop consistency.

There was a notable shift in the Bears' offense without Shane Waldron, both in the schematic approach and in the results.
