Chicago Bears: Instant takeaways from another comeback victory

More news: Chicago Bears top offensive lineman gives high praise from NFL legend

To simply put it, the Bears’ quarterback put the team on his back and carried the offense when needed the most. Down 10 in the fourth quarter, Williams led two touchdown drives to give the Bears another improbable comeback.

Williams threw for a touchdown to Rome Odunze to cut the Giants’ lead to three points. The next drive he put the offense on his back with a great deep throw to rookie Luther Burden followed by an impressive 17 yard touchdown run to give the Bears the lead with 1:47 left on the clock.

The Bears’ QB had 144 total yards in the final two drives of the game. He put on an absolutely clutch performance.

If it wasn’t for the Bears’ receiving core having multiple key drops, Williams would’ve had over 300 yards and another touchdown pass. Williams being able to take control of the game even when his weapons were struggling is a massive sign of growth.

Williams without a doubt proved himself during Sunday’s win.

Luther Burden needs to get more snaps moving forward

The Bears’ receiving core struggled badly during the game. Specifically, Olamide Zaccheaus had multiple key drops including dropping a wide open touchdown catch on a near perfect throw.

One of the bright spots of the offense was rookie Luther Burden getting more involved. The second-round pick caught all three targets he had for 51 yards including the 27 yard reception late in the fourth quarter, putting the Bears in range to take the lead.

Burden has shown that he deserves more snaps in the offense. It’s clear he can be a major problem against defenses. Head coach Ben Johnson needs to get him involved more moving forward. Burden should take over the slot receiver role over Zaccheaus.

CJ Gardner-Johnson is bringing an immediate impact to the Bears defense

The veteran defensive back has been arguably one of the most important players on the defense after only playing two games for Dennis Allen’s defense.

Johnson had an impressive two sacks and nine total tackles against the Giants. The veteran back has shown he can be solid in the secondary but can make impressive plays for the pass rush when needed.

The Bears’ defense are still a major concern, but having Gardner-Johnson is a key upgrade. The team still should look into adding an additional back prior to the schedule getting tougher, due to it being unknown when Kyler Gordon or Jaylon Johnson will return.

Without a doubt, Ben Johnson is doing absolute wonders for this team. The team could’ve been 1-7 if it wasn’t for these come from behind victories. The Bears’ head coach has brought life to this team and brought a winning culture. And just like that, they’re 6-3 and in the race for the NFC North.
