Williams leads Bears past Seahawks 34-17

Caleb Williams has reignited his MVP candidacy after returning from a hamstring injury to lead the Bears to three straight wins, including a standout victory over Seattle, as Chicago improved to 6-2. He has played more efficiently since his return, avoiding turnovers while showing greater comfort with the offense and using shorter throws and checkdowns to keep drives alive. Williams has also drawn attention for turning criticism into motivation, while his recent play has helped fuel renewed excitement among Bears fans. Next, Chicago faces Tampa Bay, whose top-ranked defense and frequent blitzes pose a major test; former Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy warned that pressure could trouble Williams.
