In the victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-bears-cole-kmet-reveals-immediate-reaction-learning-long-snap-jaguars">Kmet stepped up as the emergency long snapper</a> after the team’s starter, Scott Daly, was sidelined with a knee injury during the second offensive drive.</p><p>Kmet recorded five receptions for 70 yards and two touchdowns, significantly contributing to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/3-bears-overreactions-blowout-win-over-lowly-jaguars">Bears’ 35-16 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars</a>.</p><p>On Monday, NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero revealed that Daly’s injury is deemed week-to-week. Nonetheless, the <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1845948500976046204" rel="noopener">specialist might not miss any</a> action as the Bears are beginning their bye week today.</p><h2><b>Cole Kmet getting relieved of his duties as the Chicago Bears long snapper</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Bears-Cole-Kmet-running-off-the-field.jpg"><figcaption>Peter van den Berg-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It’s always a relief to find out that a starting player won’t be sidelined for long, but this is especially beneficial for Daly’s backup. Following the game, Kmet admitted that he’s not particularly thrilled about playing long snapper, even though he serves as the team’s backup in that role.</p><p>“It’s not like I have a ton of time on task on that, like I do at tight end, but at the end of the day that’s kind of what this league is, you just have to plug-n-play guys out of position here and there and it just happened to me,” said the Bears’ star tight-end.</p><p>“I was tired enough on each of those where I’m not even thinking about it in a sense. You’re just so tired on the field that, I’m gonna shoot this ball into my legs real quick and get this over with. I think that’s kind of the feel. I think going in the night of the game, though, I do think about all the scenarios and the plays and then I just think, ‘Gosh, I hope [Patrick] Scales or Scott [Daly] don’t get hurt today’,” Kmet continued.</p><h2><b>Cole Kmet excelling at a role he reluctantly plays</b></h2><p>Although Kmet wasn’t exactly excited to take on that role during Sunday’s game, he excelled, delivering perfect snaps for extra point attempts and a field goal attempt late in the game. However, the two touchdowns he scored will be what truly counts in the Bears’ record books.</p><p>As per Stathead, Kmet has achieved multiple touchdown receptions in a game five times throughout his career. This places him among just two Bears tight ends to reach that milestone, with Mike Ditka holding the record at six.</p><p>Although <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-cole-kmet-double-duty-td-machine-long-snapper-vs-jaguars">Kmet has recorded two touchdown catches</a> in each of those games, Ditka’s career-high in a single game was four, accomplished during an October 1963 victory against the Rams.</p><p>Desmond Clark is the only other Bears tight end to have three multiple-touchdown games, with two of those occurring in the 2006 season when the Bears made it to the Super Bowl.</p><p>Adding to his accomplishments, Kmet became the first long-snapper in NFL history to score two touchdowns in a single half following his performance on Sunday.</p><p>“Obviously it’s pretty dramatic when you lose your short and long snapper,” Bears head coach Matt Eberflus remarked on Monday.</p><p>“It’s an important part, scoring points and obviously getting the punts off. He practices it every Thursday, after practice he gets with those guys for the long and short snaps, and he does a good job. He’s solid in there and I know he’s always concerned that he has to do that and thankfully yesterday we didn’t punt again after the injury. So, we were good. He was good in there and my hats off to him,” <a href="https://atozsports.com/nfl/chicago-bears-news/bears-cole-kmet-emergency-long-snapper-scott-daly-injury-update/" rel="noopener">he continued via</a> Kole Noble of A to Z Sports.</p><p>The bye week arrives at an opportune moment for Kmet and the Bears.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Bears demolished the Jacksonville Jaguars in London during Week 6, and appear to have blossomed into one of the best teams in the NFC. Rival fans <a href="https://x.com/KyleBrandt/status/1845811415333867631" rel="noopener">are now expressing</a> their “jealous” feelings <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-caleb-williams-makes-rookie-history-london-blowout-over-jaguars">about Caleb Williams and the Bears</a> offense, per Kyle Brandt of Good Morning Football.</p><p>“Bears fans are hearing things,” Brandt said on Monday. “And they got people in the comments saying critical things to them that people say to winning teams.”</p><p>“You just beat up on the Jaguars,” Brandt added in reference to the comments. “You haven’t played anybody, you played this crappy team, and this crappy team. That is what you hear when you win games. That is what you hear from fanbases who are jealous that you are winning games, and who are jealous that you have Caleb Williams.”</p><p>After picking up three-straight wins, the Bears have quickly become one of the most thrilling teams to watch. Williams and the offense have totaled 13 touchdowns in that span, and the rookie is coming off another brilliant passing performance.</p><h2><b>Caleb Williams and the Bears dominate in Week 6</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Caleb-Williams-2.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Williams completed 23-of-29 passes for 226 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in Week 6 against the Jaguars. He connected early with Cole Kmet, as the tight end hauled in two touchdowns in the first half. Williams later would find Keenan Allen for his first TD catch as a member of the Bears in the third quarter, and once again to open up the fourth. Running back D’Andre Swift accounted for the final score of the day for the Bears on a one-yard run.</p><p>While the Bears offense has been nothing short of superb, much of the credit goes to the defense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has won multiple awards from the Pro Football Writers of America.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NFL</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>There’s a lot to like about the Chicago Bears. They are a much improved team from the version that has played in recent years.  The Bears appear to be on their way to their first winning season since 2018 and they may have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs.</p><p>There are a lot of things that are going right for the Bears, including the adjustment of their rookie quarterback Caleb Williams to life in the NFL. In addition to leading the team to a three-game winning streak following their 35-16 triumph over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6, he is taking charge of the Bears offense. Williams looks like he could develop into a legitimate leader and a potential star.</p><p>There’s a lot more to the Bears 4-2 start than their young quarterback. Start off with the defense. This is a unit that showed significant improvement last year after the Bears acquired defensive end Montez Sweat from the Washington Commanders and has only gotten better this year.</p><p>This is a defense that is smart, aggressive and nasty, and lives to take the ball away from opponents. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chicago-bears-bold-predictions-week-6-vs-jaguars">Bears also have a dynamic secondary</a>, one that has shown an ability to provide blanket coverage on some high-level receivers.</p><p>One of the most encouraging aspects of the win over the Jaguars was the play of the offensive line. Williams was sacked three times in the game, but just twice after the opening series. The offensive line gave the quarterback outstanding protection throughout the majority of the game and also opened some productive holes for running back D’Andre Swift.</p><p>If the offensive line can build off that performance and continue to play consistently, it will go a long way to helping the Bears build on their early-season success.</p><h2><b>Overreaction #1:</b></h2><h2><b>The rookie quarterback is a proven commodity</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Caleb-Williams-is-playing-well-but-still-has-much-to-prove.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-caleb-williams-makes-rookie-history-london-blowout-over-jaguars">Williams has shown</a> quite a bit of improvement from the start of the season, and that is quite encouraging. The Bears lost two of their first three games, and Williams looked like the had a long way to go.</p><p>He was having trouble reading defenses, he threw the ball into very tight windows and he did not seem to have command of the offense. Since then he has made steady improvement in his game, but that doesn’t mean everything will go smoothly from this point forward.</p><p>The three-game winning streak has come against a battered Los Angeles Rams team as well as the lowly Carolina Panthers and the struggling Jaguars. The Bears are going to face much more challenging teams as the season goes along.</p><p>When the Bears return from their bye in Week 7, they will face the upstart Washington Commanders. Head coach Dan Quinn’s team has a 4-2 record and is playing efficient football and getting an outstanding performance from Jayden Daniels, the No. 2 pick in last year’s draft. The pressure will be on Williams to show he can perform at a similar level to the Washington quarterback.</p><p>The Bears have yet to play against a divisional opponent, and the NFC North has been an imposing group. It will be difficult for the Bears to compete with any of their three long-time rivals</p><p>Williams still has much to prove at this point</p><h2><b>Overreaction #2:</b></h2><h2><b>The running game will deliver on an every-week basis</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Can-the-Bears-get-enough-out-of-their-running-game.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Peter van den Berg-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Bears need to have a consistent running game to take pressure off of their rookie quarterback and their defense.</p><p>Chicago certainly received excellent production from D’Andre Swift against Jacksonville as he gained <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401671802">91 yards on 17 carries</a> and scored 1 touchdown. Swift has excellent speed and he can break big plays when he gets into the open. He have been solid the last three games the Rams, Panthers and Jaguars, but the schedule gets quite a bit harder in the upcoming weeks.</p><p>Once the 5-9, 208-pound running back starts to take some significant body blows from some of the more aggressive and powerful defenses, how will Swift respond? There are also questions about backup running back Roschon Johnson. He had five carries for eight yards against the Jaguars and he may not have the special qualities the Bears need.</p><p>A consistent running game is needed once the weather turns cold in the Windy City. If the Bears can’t deliver, their early promise may freeze up.</p><h2><b>Overreaction #3:</b></h2><h2><b>The coaching staff is ready to battle the best in the business</b></h2><p>Matt Eberflus and his coaching staff have to match wits with some of the best coaches in the league. Is the Chicago brain trust really up to the task of competing with the best minds in the NFC North?</p><p>The first-place Minnesota Vikings (5-0) have played sensational football against some challenging opponents. Head coach Kevin O’Connell is viewed as one of the top offensive minds in the league and he is a legitimate quarterback guru.</p><p>The Green Bay Packers have gotten off to the same 4-2 start as the Bears, but Matt LaFleur has proven that he can handle challenging situations in his six years with the Packers. LaFleur has shown he is an excellent strategist and his players clearly believe in him.</p><p>The Detroit Lions have the look of a legitimate powerhouse after beating the Dallas Cowboys 47-9 on the road and raising their record to 4-1. The Lions have been viewed as one of the favorites to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl and head coach Dan Campbell is beloved and admired by his players. No team appears to play harder than the Lions.</p><p>Can Eberflus match his coaching rivals in the best division in the NFL? That’s a questionable proposition.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In fact, their meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London brought out the best in their game. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams had his best game in Chicago’s 35-16 victory, but the unheralded star of the game was tight end Cole Kmet.</p><p>Kmet has been a key part of the Bears offense and he caught five passes for 70 yards and two touchdowns, but his assignments did not stop with pass catching and blocking.  Head coach Matt Eberflus had Kmet fill in as the team’s long snapper because Scott Daly had to leave the game because of a knee injury. Kmet had been designated as the team’s emergency performer at that position, but he never figured he would have to take on that role in a regular-season NFL game.</p><h2><b>Tight end Kmet prepared for emergency role during practice sessions</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Cole-Kmet-did-double-duty-for-the-Bears-against-the-Jaguars.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Kmet said that his work prior to the game consisted of making several snaps at the team’s Thursday practice sessions. The fifth-year player from Notre Dame had never had to show off his long-snapping skills in a game prior to the Week 6 meeting with the Jaguars.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-cole-kmet-double-duty-td-machine-long-snapper-vs-jaguars">Kmet’s extra role</a> consisted of snapping on five extra point attempts and one field goal attempt. All five of Cairo Santos’ point after touchdowns were successful but the field goal attempt was not. Kmet did not have to make any snaps to punter Tory Taylor since the punter was not called on after Daly had to leave the game.</p><p>The idea of executing the position did not sit well with Kmet. <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/recap/_/gameId/401671802">He admitted</a> he was actually quite nervous about the position.</p><p>“Definitely not a position I envisioned playing in the NFL — ever,” said Kmet. “(It’s) my biggest worry going into the game.”</p><p>The Bears actually fell behind 3-0 in the first quarter as their first two drives were three-and-out. However, once the Bears were able to string first downs together, the offense took hold and got the best of the Jacksonville defense.</p><p>Williams continues to show improvement in his performance. He completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards with 4 touchdowns and 1 interception. He also ran 4 times for 56 yards.</p><p>In addition to Kmet’s huge day as a receiver, the Bears also received a notable day from veteran wideout Keenan Allen. The former Charger caught 5 passes for 41 yards and his first two touchdowns in a Chicago uniform.</p><p>The Bears have a bye in Week 7 and they will attempt to stretch their winning streak to four games when they face the Washington Commanders in Week 8. That game will focus on a meeting between Williams and Jayden Daniels, the top two picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The rookie struggled throughout the first few weeks of the season, but is finally rounding into form.</p><p>However, Caleb Williams wasn’t perfect.

Bears head coach Matt Eberflus praised Williams <a href="https://x.com/79thAndHalas/status/1845510716876304467" rel="noopener">for his ability to constantly learn from his mistakes and improve</a>.</p><p>“His ability to learn, he’s always improving and learning,” Eberflus said about Caleb Williams. “He’s always been good enough but he’s learning the game, learning our offense, the skillsets and we wanna be able to use that to expand our offense.”</p><p>Veteran receiver Keenan Allen also heaped praise on Williams, complimenting his mental maturity.</p><p>“Yea absolutely…when he came back the next drive.

I was just with him and I do,” Pederson <a href="https://x.com/ESPNdirocco/status/1845512802167095391" rel="noopener">said, via</a> ESPN’s Michael DiRocco.</p><p>Pederson, who won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018, is 19-20 in three seasons as Jaguars head coach. In his first year, he led Jacksonville back to the playoffs for the first time since 2017. And in his second year, it appeared as if the Jags would cruise into the postseason.</p><p>But after starting 8-3, Jacksonville lost five of its last six and missed the playoffs entirely. This season, the Jaguars have picked up where they left off last year. Since the beginning of December 2023, the Jags are 2-10.</p><p>The massive dip in performance has Pederson looking for change.</p><p>“We’ve got to change,” Pederson said post-game, via DiRocco. “I say we, it’s all of us, coaches, players, everybody. We have got to change right now, that culture. Otherwise it just gets out of control. We’re on a slippery slope or right on the cusp of … that slope and at some point we’ve got to — we just have [to say] enough is enough and you got to have enough pride and figure out a way.”</p><p>Whether that change will be at the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-hc-doug-pedersons-strange-reaction-to-job-status-question">head coaching position</a> remains to be seen. Khan, who owns Fulham FC, a Premier League club located in West London, voiced his support earlier this week for Pederson, general manager Trent Baalke, and the current players.</p><p>However, Khan had also indicated that the Jaguars’ competitiveness in three of their four losses to that point was encouraging. And Jacksonville was anything but competitive today.</p><p>The Bears led 14-3 at halftime and extended their lead early in the third quarter after Evan Engram fumbled on the first play of the half. While the Jaguars offense would bounce back and score on two of their next three possessions, Trevor Lawrence threw an interception just over a minute into the fourth quarter, which led to a three-play, 36-yard touchdown drive for the Bears.</p><p>The Jags will stay in London for the next week in anticipation of another UK game vs. the similarly dismal New England Patriots. Jacksonville’s next game back in the states will be at home vs. the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 27.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It would be the Jaguars’ second turnover of the game, following Evan Engram’s fumble to open the second half.</p><p>Midway through the fourth quarter, Kmet leads the way for the Bears with two scores on his five receptions for 70 yards. Keenan Allen is right behind him, also adding two touchdowns on four catches for 33 yards. Running back D’Andre Swift has also enjoyed a big game with 87 yards on the ground while reaching the end zone once.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His third touchdown was to Keenan Allen, which was the wide receiver’s first of the season.

That’s him being a leader. He’s a little bossy. It’s the little bro.”</p><p>Moore doesn’t have a problem taking a back seat to Williams, especially with them winning games.</p><p>“You do want to see that. Like I said, he’s like little bro. So you’re looking at him like, ‘Dude, don’t be talking to me like that,’” Moore said. “But it’s like, I understand, because we really need to connect on that. And that’s what we did this past week. So I took his advice. I listened. Older bro had to take a back seat for a second.”</p><p>As the season progresses, Williams will probably be taking more control of the offense, which means that he’s finally getting a grasp of things in his rookie year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In an interview with Kyle Brandt of Good Morning Football ahead of the Bears’ London matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Williams <a href="https://x.com/NFLGameDay/status/1845406192526655967" rel="noopener">responded to his new term</a> that Bears fans have used for him.</p><p>“Messiah,” Brandt revealed to Williams on Sunday, per NFL Game Day and NFL Network.</p><p>“When I hear that, I think of Dune,” Williams said. “Even that movie, he couldn’t have done it all by himself.”</p><p>The Bears offense has been clicking, of late. Williams has done a great job with getting <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-dj-moore-clarifies-bossy-caleb-williams-label">his star wide receiver target in DJ Moore</a> touchdown opportunities. He’s spread the football around to his other talented pass-catchers Rome Odunze, Keenan Allen and Cole Kmet. Running back D’Andre Swift has also gotten himself heavily involved in the passing game with nine receptions over the previous two games.</p><p>“It goes to having a team, and the guys behind you believing in you, believing in the offense and believing in each other.”</p><p>“So, it’s kinda funny,” Williams added.</p><p>The “messiah”  nickname for Williams isn’t that far off. After many years of enduring quarterback uncertainty, Bears fans view him as the savior of the franchise. The comparison to Dune’s main character Paul Atreides, played by Timothée Chalamet, may be the most accurate and timely.</p><h2><b>Caleb Williams is handling the pressure well in his rookie season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Caleb-Williams-1.jpg"><figcaption>Daniel Bartel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>When the Bears drafted Williams with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, the pressure had already begun mounting for the young QB. The franchise made a multitude of offseason additions to ensure that Williams’ NFL transition stays on the right path.</p><p>That said, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-caleb-williams-stats-that-have-fans-ready-to-believe">Williams’ rookie campaign has been a rollercoaster</a>. He opened the season with rough outings against the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans in Weeks 1 and 2, throwing for just 267 total yards.</p><p>He’s played much better since then, and is has led the Bears on a winning streak heading into Week 6. The Bears look to keep up the improvement each game, and will continue to trust Williams.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They have won their last two games and there’s a strong feeling of confidence developing in a team that is looking for its first winning season since 2018 when the Bears put together a 12-4 record.</p><p>The focus this season has been on rookie quarterback <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-caleb-williams-stats-that-have-fans-ready-to-believe">Caleb Williams, the No. 1</a> overall draft pick last April. That’s not a surprise, but this is far more than a one-man team. Chicago has plenty of talent at the wide receiver position with D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze and veteran Keenan Williams.</p><p>Additionally, the Chicago defense has picked it up from where the team left off last year.  Defensive end Montez Sweat is the key to the Bears defense, as that unit picked up its level of play when he was acquired from the Washington Commanders last season. He has continued to thrive this season, and he is getting plenty of assistance from fellow defensive end DeMarcus Walker along with linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards.</p><p>As good as the front seven is, the secondary may be even better. Cornerbacks Tyrique Stevenson and Jaylon Johnson have shown they are up to the challenge of covering talented wideouts one on one.</p><p><b><i>*Watch NFL games LIVE with fuboTV (</i></b><a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408"><b><i>free trial</i></b></a><b><i>)*</i></b><b><br></b>(Fubo affiliate links by sport available<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1crkWVG1BxV_0_8z4iRCcgxGll-agaYRAhX2kfnyYZ8s/edit?gid=0#gid=0"> here</a>) </p><p>The Bears also have a couple of strong weapons on special teams in placekicker Cairo Santos and rookie punter Tory Taylor. Santos has proven his dependability throughout his 11-year career and has made 8 of 9 field goal attempts this season. Taylor appears to be a dynamic weapon who excels at placing the ball inside the 10 and preventing long returns due to the height of his kicks.</p><p>The Bears should have an excellent chance of making it 3 wins in a row when they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.</p><h2><b>Bears QB Caleb Williams will throw for 250 yards and 2 TDs</b></h2><p>The Bears have given their rookie quarterback a full load of responsibility in his first year. They established early in training camp that the rookie would be the team’s QB1, and most of training camp was spend building up the Heisman Trophy winner from USC.</p><p>It seemed that head coach Matte Eberflus was taking a tone with the rookie quarterback that would have angered founder George Halas or legendary coach Mike Ditka. That’s because HBO’s Hard Knocks cameras showed the coach basically telling Williams how great he was and how much he could accomplish with the Bears.</p><p>Those legendary leaders would have been much more demanding of any first-year player, especially a talented quarterback with a big reputation.</p><p>The Eberflus strategy may be working because <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-caleb-williams-makes-rookie-history-5-games-into-career">Williams and the Bears</a> seem to be getting better every game. In Chicago’s 36-10 triumph over the Carolina Panthers in Week 5, Williams had his best game of the year. He completed 20 0f 29 passes for 304 yards with 2 touchdowns and no interceptions.</p><p>That last number is the one that should make most Bears fans the happiest. It’s clear that Williams has the arm talent to make any throw required, but it is his decision making that has to reach a high level if the Bears are going to have a winning record and possibly make the playoffs.</p><p>The Bears would like to see his decision making continue to improve. Williams has completed 107 of 170 passes for 1,091 yards with 5 touchdowns and 4 interceptions throughout the first five games of his career.</p><p>He should be able to diagnose the Jaguars defense and find open receivers on a consistent basis. The growth of the rookie quarterback continues.</p><h2><b>Rome Odunze delivers 5 receptions for 85 yards and 1 TD</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Rome-Odunze-is-fitting-in-nicely-with-the-Bears.jpg"><figcaption>Christine Tannous/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Bears had a game plan during last year’s draft. They wanted to give the offense a lift with their two first-round draft choices. In addition to selecting Williams, they also picked up Rome Odunze with their second first-round draft pick.</p><p>Odunze has all the tools to be successful on a long-term basis in the NFL. He has excellent size at 6-3 and 215 pounds, and the kind of speed and moves to get away from solid cover men.</p><p>He also has excellent agility that allows him to high point the football and make contested catches. In addition to winning the battle for the ball, he is also capable of making the toe tap and staying inbounds when he is close to the sidelines.</p><p>Odunze had his most productive game in the Week 3 21-16 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He caught 6 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown in a game that saw the Bears fight valiantly but come up short.</p><p>Odunze has caught <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/O/OdunRo00.htm">15 passes</a> for 206 yard and 1 TD through his first five games and he is getting more familiar with his responsibilities on the Chicago offense. He should be poised to have his best game of the year against the Jaguars.</p><h2><b>Defense limits Jaguars to 10 points</b></h2><p>The Bears may have to deal with some up and down games from their offense since two of their key players are rookies, but the defense is likely to bring it every game.</p><p>The defense features two big-hitting linebackers in Edwards and Edmunds. Edwards is the team’s leading tackler with 40 stops and he also has 3 tackles for loss and 1 fumble recovery. Edmunds is fourth on the team with 28 tackles and he also has 1.0 sack and 2 tackles for loss. Edmunds has contributed 2 passes defensed, 1 interception and 1 forced fumble.</p><p>These two will make life miserable for Trevor Lawrence and running back Travis Etienne.</p><p>The secondary will also do its part and deliver blanket coverage against Jacksonville’s receivers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Sure, a defense that dating back to last season hasn’t allowed 20 points to an opponent in eight straight games deserves some love too, but that has remained a calling card in the Windy City for decades. But to have a rookie quarterback taking command of an offense that’s loaded with playmakers? Well, that’s definitely new.</p><p>It took some time, but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-caleb-williams-reveals-big-change-rams-matchup">Caleb Williams has begun taking ownership of this Bears offense</a>. It’s been a point of his development over the last few weeks, and thus far, it looks like <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-caleb-williams-stats-that-have-fans-ready-to-believe">he’s been on a drastic and linear path of improvement</a>. What accounts for this growth? Well, according to DJ Moore, it’s been Williams’ willingness to get a little “bossy” with his veteran teammates.</p><p>There’s typically a negative connotation with the word “bossy,” so <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41702546/bears-quarterback-caleb-williams-taking-control-offense" rel="noopener">Moore made sure to clarify</a> that he was actually complimenting his quarterback when he said this.</p><p>“What I mean by bossy is if we don’t hit something in practice, he’s going to tell us how we need to run it,” Moore said, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. “And we just look at him and be like, ‘OK.’ When we get out there for the game, just make sure you work, because he’s gonna have some words for you if you don’t. That’s him being a leader. He’s a little bossy. It’s the little bro.”</p><p>When asked if this is what he wants out of his quarterback, Moore explained that he’s more than willing to take a backseat to a ‘bossy’ quarterback if it’s going to improve the on-field product.</p><p>“You do want to see that. Like I said, he’s like little bro. So you’re looking at him like, ‘Dude, don’t be talking to me like that,'” Moore said with a smile. “But it’s like, I understand, because we really need to connect on that. And that’s what we did this past week. So I took his advice. I listened. Older bro had to take a back seat for a second.”</p><h2><b>Caleb Williams, DJ Moore connection sparking Bears offensive burst</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/DJ-Moore-celebrates-in-the-end-zone.jpg?w=1024"><figcaption>© Daniel Bartel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Since older bro started taking a backseat to little bro, the Bears offense has begun to find it’s form. In the last two games, a pair of wins over the Rams and Panthers, DJ Moore has hauled in 8 receptions for 127 yards and three touchdowns. It’s looked like Moore and Williams have been playing together for years, but in reality, this is an on-field partnership still in the infancy stage of it’s development.</p><p>It took Moore some time to come around on his rookie quarterback. When the Bears were still weighing the decision of whether to hang onto Justin Fields or move on from the 2021 1st Round pick, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-dj-moore-doubles-down-justin-fields-vs-2024-nfl-draft-qbs-take">Moore was candid about his preference to continue playing with Fields</a>, even going as far as saying that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-dj-moore-doubles-down-after-justin-fields-trade-caleb-williams-pro-day">nobody in the Bears locker room wanted Fields to be traded</a>. It didn’t help matters that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-dj-moore-breaks-silence-viral-outburst-vs-texans">Moore was very clearly frustrated with the state of the Bears offense and his role in it</a> in the early weeks of the 2024 season.</p><p>But with a dominant performance against his former team — <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-caleb-williams-dj-moore-torching-panthers-salt-wound">the team that gifted the Chicago Bears both Moore and Williams</a> — it seems as if those concerns will remain in the past. It helps too that Williams is comfortable talking about the “bossy” label, even if he’d prefer to call it “sassy.”</p><p>“Certain people you can be a little bossy with, certain people you have to talk very monotone and in control of yourself, and other times there’s people that you can just kind of lash out at. I don’t really lash out much. That’s not really my vibe,” Williams said, explaining that learning there are different ways to talk to different teammates has been a big part of his growth.</p><p>“Understanding that even when I’m frustrated about maybe a drive or a play that we had that we may have messed up or whatever the case may have been, understanding that there’s another drive coming, there’s another part of the season that we have to focus on also. Being able to go over and talk to them and understand how and what they need to hear and then from there moving on.”</p><p>The Bears will move on to a game in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars, hoping that they’ll be able to bring a three-game winning streak with them back to Chicago.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The good news is the Jaguars should be able to run the ball well. Travis Etienne is questionable, but Tank Bigsby has been great this season. In his last two games, Bigsby has rushed for 191 yards on 20 carries, which comes out to 9.55 yards per rush. Do not expect that many yards per rush in this game, but a solid five yards per carry will go a long way for the Jaguars.</p><p>Trevor Lawrence is playing better than the Jaguars record suggests. He has thrown for 1,100 yards this season to go along with six touchdowns to just two interceptions. Lawrence has also been sacked just once in his last two games. That is not only a testament to him, but his offensive line, as well. If he stays upright in this game, Lawrence will be able to complete some passes and move the ball downfield.</p><p>Jacksonville is coming off a win, which was much needed. Three of their four losses this season came by less than five points. Two of those losses came in the last seconds of the game, so the Jaguars could easily by a 3-2 team. This is not a team to take lightly, and they should be able to give the Bears a tough battle.</p><h2><b>Why The Bears Could Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>Caleb Williams has started to perform really well. He is just five games into his rookie year, but the potential is off the charts. In his last two games, Williams has completed 71.2 percent of his passes, thrown for 461 yards, and he has thrown three touchdowns. What is even more encouraging is he has thrown zero interceptions, and he has been sacked just four times in those two games. If Williams continues to play as he is, the Bears will win.</p><p>D’Andre Swift is another player that has started to play well for the Bears. In the last two games, Swift has 166 rush yards, 4.5 yards per carry, and two touchdowns. He has also been great in the passing game with 119 receiving yards. Having the run game is going to be huge, and the Bears need him to continue that in this game.</p><p>The talk of the season for the Bears is their defense. They allow the seventh-fewest yards per game, sixth-fewest pass yards per game, and fifth-fewest points per game. Chicago is very good with their pass defense. They have allowed just two passing touchdowns, and they have six interceptions as a team. The Bears are also the only team in the NFL to allow a quarterback rating under 70. They make teams one-dimensional against them, which is a big reason why they are 3-2. If their defense continues to be good, the Bears will win.</p><h2><b>Final Jaguars-Bears Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>This should actually end up being a pretty close game. I do think the Bears will come out on top, though. Chicago has a relentless defense. The Jaguars, on the other hand, are not as good defensively. Since the spread is so small, I will take the Bears’ spread.</p><p><b>Final Jaguars-Bears Prediction &amp; Pick: Bears -1.5 (-115)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Both cornerback Kyler Gordon (heel) and offensive lineman Teven Jenkins (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday.</p><p>Of all their absences, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-jaquan-brisker-concerning-injury-update-ahead-jaguars-clash">Brisker’s will inarguably be felt the hardest</a>. He has developed into a key part of the Bears’ defense and a leader of the secondary. Through the first five games of the season, the safety has racked up 40 tackles, two passes defenses, an interception and sack. His tape has shown a tenacious player willing to lay a big hit.</p><p>Brisker, Smith and Pickens are all apart of one of the best defenses in the NFL.

Now getting a taste of that feeling, the Jags aren’t looking to give it up anytime soon.</p><p>But eventually, someone’s winning streak has to come to an end. The Bears will do everything in their power to ensure they come back from over the pond with a win. However, not having Jaquan Brisker on the field will certainly alter Chicago’s plans.</p><p>Once the Bears return home from London, the team will have more answers on Brisker and all of their injured defensive players. Chicago is hopeful their absence isn’t extended beyond one game.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With both the Bears and Jaguars having momentum heading into the contest, it could be decided by who prepares the most.</p><p>“We’ll go there Monday, get there Tuesday morning,” he continued. “The players have their day off that day, which is normal and then bring them back in on Wednesday and we’ll have a walk-through practice to get their bodies ready to go. And then from there, we’ll be normal business operation. Thursday will be our normal first, second and third. Friday will be our red zone day. Saturday will be the walk through, and then Sunday we’ll play the game.”</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Williams had a pair of passing touchdowns in this one, and the guy who was on the receiving end of both of them in DJ Moore had some high praise for the rookie quarterback.</p><p>While the Bears have a ton of talented playmakers at their disposal, it’s clear that Moore is the best of the bunch. After putting together his biggest outing of the season (5 REC, 105 YDS, 2 TD), Moore shelled out some high praise for Williams, describing his play against the Panthers as “<a href="https://www.audacy.com/670thescore/sports/chicago-bears/dj-moore-salutes-caleb-williams-hes-playing-lights-out" rel="noopener">lights out</a>” while highlighting how much he’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-caleb-williams-makes-rookie-history-5-games-into-career">improved in just five games</a>.</p><p>“He’s playing lights out week in and week out. He’s gotten better week in and week out. Seeing different coverages and playing teams that (show) us the same coverage on defense is another thing that he would get used to because it’s like a copycat league. But for him to diagnose defenses and see it on film and see it in live action is something he’s gotten better at. So, I’m glad to see that part.” – DJ Moore, Audacy</p><h2><b>DJ Moore helping Caleb Williams improve for the Bears</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/DJ-Moore-of-the-Bears.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Daniel Bartel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Rookies almost always struggle at times when making their transition to the NFL, and Williams had several rocky moments over the first four games of the season. In Moore’s eyes, it was all part of the process to help him get acclimated to the league, and now that he’s got a couple games under his belt, he’s beginning to improve at a pretty fast rate.</p><p>There will surely be more speed bumps that Williams and the Bears have to overcome, but having a talented crop of playmakers, spearheaded by Moore, will help make his life far easier. Chicago has now picked up back-to-back wins, and if Moore and Williams can continue to stay on the same page, they will have a good shot at picking up another victory in Week 6 when they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It felt really good. We were super excited. We get to the sideline and we were both like, ‘Finally, we were able to hit something like that.’”</p><p>The offense was fluent throughout the game in the air and on the ground, and Williams spoke about how being in a groove like that will help them as the season progresses.</p><p>“It keeps us on the football field, being efficient and then you have those big plays, the momentum swings,” Williams said. “Us playing together and playing like that, you’re going to win a lot of games.”</p><p>“He’s learning and growing,” head coach Matt Eberflus said. “You can see that in the course of these games that we’ve had. He needs it to continue. He knows that. You just have to level up (and) keep leveling up.”</p><p>Coming into the season, there was a lot of hype surrounding the Bears offense with the options they had. It looks like things are finally clicking, and the hope is that they can carry that momentum into the rest of the season. In Week 6, they’ll be going up against Jacksonville Jaguars, who just got their first win of the season in Week 5.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Along with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angel-reese-cant-wait-to-share-a-different-side-with-launch-of-podcast">starting her own podcast</a>, Reese has enjoyed her time traveling and attending NFL games with the Chicago Sky eliminated from the playoffs.</p><p>As a Baltimore native who currently lives in Chicago as a member of the Sky, Reese actively supports both the Bears and Ravens. She has attended home games for both teams and <a href="https://x.com/Reese10Angel/status/1843018792030667148" rel="noopener">has taken notice</a> of each game that she has been to ending in a blowout win.</p><p>“Every game I’ve been to has been a blowout,” Reese tweeted. “I’m just sayingggg.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">i’m from baltimore but i live in chicago. this ain’t no tour sorry! <a href="https://t.co/5nkvkvGNaP">https://t.co/5nkvkvGNaP</a></p><p>— Angel Reese (@Reese10Angel) <a href="https://twitter.com/Reese10Angel/status/1842991435345453421?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 6, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Reese was last in Solider Field on Oct. 6 for the Bears’ Week 5 home game against the Carolina Panthers. The game featured the highly anticipated breakout of rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who threw for 304 yards and two touchdowns in a 36-10 win for the Bears.</p><p>The last time the Sky forward was present at an NFL game was in the M&amp;T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on Sept. 29 when the Ravens <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-ravens-blowout-victory-bills-proves-true-super-bowl-contender">blew out the Bills 35-10</a> in Week 4. Reese was gifted with a custom-made No. 5 jersey by both teams.</p><h2><b>Angel Reese wraps up historic rookie season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Angel-Reese.jpg"><figcaption>Daniel Bartel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Although she continues to be one of the most controversial players in women’s basketball, Reese has undeniably become one of the biggest stars in the sport. As one of the Chicago Sky’s first-round picks with the No. 7 selection, Reese was one of two rookies — joining Caitlin Clark — to be selected to the 2024 WNBA All-Star game.</p><p>Reese started all 34 games she appeared in and averaged 13.6 points, 13.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.5 blocks while quickly developing a reputation for being one of the best rebounders in the league. She set the record for most consecutive double-doubles with 10, passing Tina Charles and Cindy Brown.</p><p>That would not be the only record Reese broke, as the former LSU Tiger’s 446 total rebounds set a new league record for the most in a single season. Reese set the new record in a Sept. 1 game against the Minnesota Lynx on the road.</p><p>However, for as dominant as Reese has been on the glass, she has been criticized for her inefficiency near the rim with a 39.1 percent field goal percentage on the year. Her jump shot was also practically nonexistent as she ended her season with a mere 18.8 percent from three-point range. Reese made just one three-pointer on the year in her final game of the season against the Los Angeles Sparks.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
