These 4 Bears earned game balls following Chicago’s Week 4 win over Rams

Caleb Williams

Another solid day at the office for the rookie. Williams didn’t stuff the stat sheet like last week, but he completed 17 of his 23 pass attempts for 157 yards, a 74% completion rate, one touchdown, and most importantly, no turnovers. He also became the first quarterback drafted first overall two win his first two home games in NFL history.

Williams finished this game with a 106.6 passer rating, his best yet.

Tory Taylor

It’s time to give the punter his flowers. After much grumbling from some fans and analysts about drafting a punter in the fourth round, Taylor put on an absolute clinic when he was called upon against the Rams. By flipping the field and forcing the Rams to begin drives from the shadows of their own goalposts, he played an integral part in securing this win.

Win percent changes for the #Bears after each of Tory Taylor’s 5 punts, per ESPN:

+1.9%
+0.9%
-3.2%
+7.0%
+8.0%

That’s a net gain of a 22.7% chance to win from his punts alone. He played a huge role in the win today. pic.twitter.com/3wLcOCToW0

Gervon Dexter Sr.

It feels like every week there’s multiple defenders that I’d like to honor with a game ball, but I’m going with Gervon Dexter. He tallied another sack today, his third on the season, and came close on a couple more. He’s been a one-man wrecking crew all season long, which has greatly raised both the floor and ceiling for this unit.
