Caleb Williams Struggles Continue as Texans Beat Bears

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams threw two interceptions in a 19-13 loss to the Houston Texans, extending his streak of not throwing a touchdown pass to start his NFL career.

The Chicago Bears' offense has been anemic in the first two games of the season, and quarterback Caleb Williams is a major reason why. Williams has yet to throw a touchdown pass and has been intercepted twice, leading to concerns about his ability to be the franchise quarterback the Bears hoped he would be when they selected him with the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Against the Texans, Williams completed just 16 of 30 passes for 175 yards and two interceptions. He was also sacked four times and lost a fumble. The Bears' offense was held to just 13 points, their lowest total of the season.

After the game, Williams was asked about his struggles and said he was "just trying to do too much."

"I'm trying to make every play and I'm trying to be perfect," Williams said. "I need to relax and just play my game."

Bears coach Matt Eberflus said he believes in Williams and that he will eventually turn things around.

"Caleb is a talented player and he's going to be a good quarterback in this league," Eberflus said. "He just needs to keep working and keep learning."

However, some analysts are starting to question whether Williams is the right quarterback for the Bears. Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky said on ESPN's "Get Up" that he thinks the Bears should consider benching Williams and starting veteran Andy Dalton.

"I think Caleb Williams is a talented player, but I don't think he's ready to be the starting quarterback of an NFL team," Orlovsky said. "He's making too many mistakes and he's not making enough plays."

The Bears will face a tough test in Week 3 when they host the Minnesota Vikings, who are one of the favorites to win the NFC North. If Williams struggles again, the pressure on him and Eberflus will only intensify.

* Williams was the most hyped quarterback prospect since Trevor Lawrence, but he has not lived up to expectations so far in his NFL career.

* The Bears have a lot of talent on their offense, including running back David Montgomery and wide receiver Darnell Mooney, but they need Williams to play better if they want to be a contender.

* The Vikings have a strong defense led by Danielle Hunter and Eric Kendricks, so Williams will need to be at his best if the Bears want to win.

* If Williams struggles again, the Bears may have to consider making a change at quarterback.

* Dalton is a veteran quarterback who has been a starter in the NFL for many years. He is not as talented as Williams, but he is a more experienced and steady player.

* If the Bears bench Williams, it will be a major setback for the team and for Williams' career.

* However, it may be the best thing for the Bears in the long run.

* Williams needs to learn how to play the quarterback position at the NFL level.

* He needs to be more patient, make better decisions, and avoid taking unnecessary risks.

* If he can do that, he has the potential to be a successful quarterback in the NFL.
