What happened: Returning to the lineup for Chicago's Sunday matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on FOX, quarterback Caleb Williams guided the offense to a touchdown on his first possession back. The Bears extended the opening series with a third-down hook-and-ladder conversion before Williams connected with tight end Colston Loveland in the end zone.

Why it matters: The immediate scoring drive stabilizes a Chicago passing attack that recently dressed Tyson Bagent behind Case Keenum before putting Caleb Williams back under center against Atlanta. Pairing the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft with Loveland, the 10th overall selection out of Michigan in 2025 whom Ben Johnson hailed in June as Chicago's most consistent target, restores the offense's primary foundation.

What to watch: Chicago continues its regular-season matchup against Atlanta on FOX as Williams works through his first game action back.
