The Chicago Bears scored a massive win last week, beating the Dallas Cowboys in front of a raucous Soldier Field crowd for their first victory of the 2025 NFL season.

Quarterback Caleb Williams was the biggest factor in the win, throwing or 298 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions, showing off all the skills that made him the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s NFL Draft.

Williams was honored by the league as NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his Week 3 performance, but when Bears head coach Ben Johnson tried to acknowledge it in front of the team, Williams was far more interested in preparing for Chicago’s next opponent:

Bears HC Ben Johnson said Caleb Williams was “completely unfazed” after learning he won NFC Offensive Player of the Week.

As impressive as Williams’ performance was against the Cowboys, it’s just as impressive that he’s laser-focused on Week 4 instead of reveling in individual honors.

Let’s see if those preparations can lead to another big win this week, bringing Williams and the Bears back to .500 after an 0-2 start.
