Caleb Williams explains how Thomas Brown got Bears offense into rhythm

The Chicago Bears offense has found new life under interim offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, who replaced Shane Waldron, who was fired last week.

Brown orchestrated a game plan that featured a balanced approach with the run game (between D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson) and quick, easy completions that allowed rookie quarterback Caleb Williams to get into a rhythm. It was an encouraging outing for an offense that had gone 25 drives without a touchdown, and Williams explained how the offense was able to get into a groove.

"It started with (Brown) stringing things together and doing a good job with that and getting everybody into a rhythm and not necessarily thinking of what's next?" Williams said Wednesday. "Or anything like that. We kind of had an idea of what's next, and from there you go out there, you play, and you play efficient football, it gives you the best chance to win."

Brown didn't completely overhaul the offense, rather he focused on the details that allowed the offense to find a rhythm.

"We didn't reinvent the wheel for those three or four (practice) days that Thomas became the offensive coordinator and play caller," Williams said. "I think the decisiveness, I think all of that came from, one, our meetings, and how we're going to do things. I think it came from being able to get play calls in faster and being able to get up there and not feel like you're rushed or not feel like you need to hurry up and get the ball snapped and things like that.

"I think all of these small things, details of routes, details of the blocking, details of the path of running backs and how we're going to do things, I think that led into all of what happened last week."

Looking ahead to Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, Williams believes the offense can build on their previous encouraging outing.

"I think communication, I think the attitude and I think us just going out there and being on the details, for myself and for the whole team," Williams said. "I think those three things would be huge for us for this run that we're going to go on."
