Williams<\/a> could play like that all the time, there\u2019d be no question about what the Bears have in him and where their future together is headed. It\u2019s the rest of the game, which also matters, that creates so much uncertainty.<\/p>\nWhy is he Superman at the end, but nondescript Clark Kent the rest of the game? The Bears need to get him in that phone booth before the opening kickoff instead of waiting until they\u2019re on the brink of defeat. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s something we want to get down,\u201d Williams said after practice Wednesday. \u201cIt\u2019s everybody understanding what we can be on offense. We can score fast and we can score on 13-play drives. We\u2019ve got special talent on our side of the ball on offense.<\/p>\n
\u201cToward the end of the game, it\u2019s time to win the game and you get in that mode. Defenses have shown you throughout the game how they game-planned for you. You get into a rhythm and a flow toward the end of the game, and the mindset changes in the sense that, we have no other option at that point other than to score and fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Williams has been the best late-game quarterback in the NFL this season. That\u2019s not hyperbole. The numbers show it in every regard.<\/p>\n
He has a league-best 143.8 passer rating in the final five minutes, and that\u2019s typically been crunch time for the Bears. Of their nine games, two were out of hand late in one direction or the other, but mostly the pressure has been on. There\u2019s not much filler in his statistics.<\/p>\n
His completion percentage, at 65.2, is up five points from the rest of the game, his yards per pass spikes from 6.9 to 11.5, he hasn\u2019t thrown an interception and he has taken just one sack.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been pretty consistent throughout, staying locked in and dialed in… but [late in games], you\u2019re in more drop-back pass mode, and I don\u2019t want to say he\u2019s got a higher comfort level there, but that is probably where he\u2019s had the majority of his snaps over high school, college and the NFL,\u201d coach Ben Johnson said. \u201cSo there probably is just a little bit of, \u2018OK, this is my wheelhouse, and I know we\u2019re going to throw it, and defense knows we\u2019re going to throw it, and yet I can go ahead and make a play.\u2019 There might be something to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
