NFL to investigate Caleb Williams incident in Bears-Panthers game
Caleb Williams had himself a season opener to remember on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. The Chicago Bears star quarterback led his team to victory and recorded an impressive stat line. The NFL will also investigate a play in the third quarter involving him and a Panthers linebacker.
Williams dropped back on second-and-20 deep in Chicago territory. Derrick Brown hit him after he threw the football, leading to a roughing the passer call. The penalty gave the Bears 15 yards and an automatic first down, and the drive ended with a D’Andre Swift touchdown.
The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner completed 21-of-29 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns. He added 10 rushing attempts for 65 yards and two scores in the 59-37 win.

The league could impose additional discipline on Brown for his hit on Williams. The NFL will classify a first-offense roughing-the-passer fine. It is listed at $17,911 and an official announcement is expected in the next few days.
Williams has started the season on a high note. He also gained momentum ahead of Chicago’s three-game homestand in Weeks 2, 3 and 4. The team will host the Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets. However, Ben Johnson and his staff will have a lot to discuss, particularly on defense.
While the offense was fluid and almost scored at will, the Bears gave up five touchdowns. Last season, Williams’ unit compensated for the defense; however, Johnson likely doesn’t want it to be the case again this year. They will make adjustments, but the good news is several players shined on Sunday and could set the tone for what’s in store for the franchise.
