Bears' Caleb Williams shines in first game back from injury

After missing three games while recovering from a torn hamstring, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams returned on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.

It was certainly a possibility that Williams would be a bit rusty and get off to a slow start, but it was, in fact, the exact opposite of rust that Williams showed in a 31-23 win.

Caleb Williams had a stellar game

In his return, Williams completed 30-of-36 passes for 305 yards with a touchdown. It was just the seventh time in his career that Williams eclipsed 300 passing yards and just the third time he's done so without throwing an interception.

Williams completed his first 14 passes of the game, but that was not even the most impressive stat. According to ESPN Insights, Williams was a perfect 26-for-26 when Atlanta failed to get pressure, good for a new NFL record in that category.

Williams also became just the third quarterback in NFL history to reach 50 touchdown passes before throwing 15 interceptions. Overall, it was an excellent day for Williams in his return from what once looked like a potential season-ending injury.
