Caleb Williams lays out Bears' focus in final preseason game vs Titans

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams said "execution" and "penalties" will be areas of emphasis going into final week of the preseason following loss to Bengals.

The Chicago Bears' final preseason game against the Tennessee Titans on Saturday will provide a clear focus for the team, as detailed by quarterback Caleb Williams. The Bears, who suffered a poor performance in their previous game against the Cincinnati Bengals, committed 11 penalties, fumbled multiple times and struggled to convert third downs, never scoring a touchdown.

Williams emphasized the importance of execution, penalties, and starting strong, stating that small issues like fumbled snaps can significantly impact the game. He believes that focus, which is within their control, will be crucial in eliminating these mistakes. While preseason games are often taken with a grain of salt due to limited playing time, Williams acknowledged that the starters, too, were not immune to these problems, particularly during the Bears' opening drive where they faced a penalty in the red zone.

The Bears have ample time before their regular season opener against the Carolina Panthers on September 13 to address these issues, as a competitive NFC North division with Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings, including Kyler Murray, awaits them.
