What happened: Chicago turned one third-quarter drive with four straight chunk runs, including the same Kyle Monangai who sparked the Week 1 blueprint on gains of 15 and 12 yards. D'Andre Swift added a 12-yard run off left tackle before fumbling at the 1 in constant rain. Caleb Williams also turned a busted snap into a 17-yard gain and added scrambles of 11 and 10 yards to extend drives.

Why it matters: The run game showed a usable identity built on Williams' movement and Monangai's contact balance through the third quarter. That progress was undone by the goal-line giveaway, which left a drive with four explosives scoreless. Williams left with an injury issue that bears on how much of that scrambling element stays available.

By the numbers: 8 explosive plays in Week 2; Williams runs of 17, 11, 10 yards; Monangai runs of 15, 12 yards; Swift run of 12 yards; 3 points scored.

What to watch: Watch Williams' availability and comfort moving outside structure, plus whether Monangai earns a larger share after creating yards through contact.
