The Chicago Bears came out victorious in a come-from-behind effort against the New York Giants in NFL Week 10. Caleb Williams had one of his best performances to date despite what the box score showed. Receivers were responsible for 6 drops during the game, deflating Caleb’s numbers on an accurate passing day. Olamide Zaccheaus had 2 of those drops, begging the question, is it time for Luther Burden III to be the starter over Zaccheaus? Could Burden become more of a factor in the return game as well? Later, Professor Briggs is back with his grades on an up-and-down day from the team. How does each phase grade out?

The Chicago Bears looked as cold as the weather through their first three quarters in their Week 10 loss to the New York Giants. Things started well for the Bears after Kyle Monangai found the endzone on a 1st quarter TD to go up 7-0. The Bears found themselves down 20-10 in the 4th quarter until Caleb Williams connected with Rome Odunze to cut it to a 3-point game. The defense got the stop they needed and Caleb Williams did it himself from there, leading the team down the field and capping it off with a game-winning 17-yard rush TD!
