Despite the loss, there were encouraging signs from the offense, particularly Caleb Williams who has had plenty of struggles in his rookie season. Following the change in offensive coordinators from Shane Waldron to Thomas Brown this week, all the attention was on Williams and what would be different under Brown.

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

The Chicago Bears made the last move they could make before firing current head coach Matt Eberflus. They sacrificed his offensive coordinator Shane Waldron instead. Waldron took the blame for a three-game losing streak that effectively vacated Chicago’s hope of a quick turnaround in its latest rebuild.
