Week 3's win over the Dallas Cowboys brought a lot of excitement for the Chicago Bears' offense with Ben Johnson's unit totaling 30+ points and quarterback Caleb Williams throwing for four touchdowns in route to an NFC Offensive Player of the Week nod.

The most hilarious moment of the win game in the third quarter when Williams found wide receiver DJ Moore wide open in the end zone for a touchdown to make it a 31-14 game. But, it wasn't the play or the fact Moore was so open that made the score so hilarious, it was wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus' celebration after the play that he's brought with him to every team so far in his career.

While speaking to the media on Wednesday, Williams was finally asked about Zaccheaus' celebration and offered the perfect response about his veteran receiver flailing his body around after the play.

"I've realized he's done that a few times. He's getting... older. Put it that way, he's been in the league for a little bit. So, it's kinda making him aware that he's getting a little bit older and let's stop flipping and landing on our tails," Williams said jokingly. "I need him out there for big moments and big plays."

The Bears brought Zaccheaus in to be a reliable player for the offense and for Williams to turn to in the passing game, much like veteran Keenan Allen was for the team in 2024. Zaccheaus is still looking for his first regular season touchdown in Chicago, but considering how the ball is being distributed in this offense, it'll come sooner than later and I can't wait to see what that celebration will be.

Caleb Williams spreading the ball around is a great sign for Bears' offense

"It's super exciting to be able to spread the ball around. That's something I think I've prided myself on throughout my career is being able to spread the ball around to my guys," Williams said on Sunday after the game. "... I think I've done a good job over my career being able to spread the ball around and keep all of my wide receivers happy because they do a good job out there."

Week 3 was a prime example of that. Williams completed a pass to eight different pass catchers in the win against the Cowboys with four different players scoring a receiving touchdown.

"The trust level there with those pass catchers is right where it needs to be and it's going to continue to ascend with the passing game as we go," Johnson said prior to Week 3.

Bears 2025 Top Receiving Stats

  • Rome Odunze: 16 receptions, 227 yards, 4 TDs
  • DJ Moore: 12 receptions, 135 yards, 1 TD
  • Olamide Zaccheaus: 9 receptions, 78 yards, 0 TD
  • Luther Burden III: 5 receptions, 103 yards, 1 TD

Week 3 saw wide receiver DJ Moore, tight end Cole Kmet, and rookie receiver Luther Burden III all score their first touchdowns of the season. Perhaps, in Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders, we see some new faces reach the end zone for the first time in the 2025 regular season. Maybe it'll finally be Zaccheaus, rookie tight end Colston Loveland, or rookie running back Kyle Monangai. We'll see.
