Quarterback Caleb Williams once again showcased his abilities to fuel the Bears offense's comeback efforts in the second half of games.

While the Bears ultimately fell to the Packers 28-21 at Lambeau Field Sunday, Williams and the offense strung together three consecutive scoring drives in the second half, including two passing touchdowns by the second-year quarterback, to erase a 14-3 halftime deficit.

"You see when we get on rhythm and get on timing, what we can be and what we are," tight end Cole Kmet told Jeff Joniak on Marquee Sports Network after the game. "So, [it] felt like we were really physical there in that second half, a lot of play paths opened up, and then I thought Caleb made some really outstanding plays with his legs and on the run."

After struggling to find their rhythm in the first half, the offense recorded 244 total yards and 15 first downs in the final 30 minutes. Williams threw for 154 yards and the two touchdowns after halftime while adding three carries for 10 yards, one of which resulted in a fourth-down conversion on the Bears' first touchdown drive.

Both Williams and Kmet believed the unit's second half ascension wasn't the result of any dramatic shifts, but rather cleaning up mistakes and locking in on the details.

"I think it was more of us shooting ourselves in the foot, and not making the plays and the small details," Williams said. "That's something that we spoke about in the locker room before we came back out, is focusing on the small details, doing our job, execution, and then we were able to start getting in the same place. I think we had a couple good plays that made a spark for us, and we started getting going."

Those minor tweaks paid dividends on the Bears' first possession out of the break, which resulted in a 10-play, 64-yard touchdown drive. Both the run and pass game began to break open, as Williams hit back-to-back first down completions to tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet. The latter was the result of Williams' heroics, as he escaped a collapsing pocket and perfectly hit Kmet in stride while on the run for 26 yards.

"I thought Caleb was doing everything he could," coach Ben Johnson said. "He put his Superman cape on a few times to not go down, extend the play, and he found a couple big scrambles for us over the course of that game, which earlier in the season you would've said that we really had a hard time finding."

After running back D'Andre Swift picked up 10 yards on three plays to reach the 1-yard line, Williams fired a line drive into the hands of receiver Olamide Zaccheaus, who laid out for the touchdown in the end zone near the right sideline.

While the Bears settled for a field goal on the following possession, which included completions of 16 and 18 yards from Williams, he then proceeded to lead the longest drive of the day to tie the score at 21.

The 17-play, 83-yard drive highlighted the Bears offense's dual-threat ability. Swift and fellow running back Kyle Monangai totaled 41 yards on the first seven plays of the drive before Williams delivered passes of eight yards to Swift and seven yards to Loveland to reach the Green Bay 27.

After two Williams runs of two yards and a Swift carry for eight yards, the QB found rookie receiver Luther Burden III for 10 yards on third-and-8 to reach the Packers' 5-yard line. Three plays later, on third-and-1 from the 1, Williams and Loveland connected for a 1-yard score, marking the rookie's fourth TD of the season, which is tied for the lead among all NFL rookie tight ends.

"Fortunately in the second half, our offense was able to find its footing a little bit, both in the run game and the passing game," coach Ben Johnson said. "It felt like we had a little bit of rhythm, so made it a game, but fell short there at the end."

The Bears' final drive while down 28-21 began with more heroics from Williams, who fired passes to Burden for 27 yards and return specialist Devin Duvernay for 24 yards. But the possession, and ultimately the game, ended on fourth-and-1 from the Green Bay 14 when Williams threw an interception in the end zone on a pass intended for Kmet, one in which the QB told reporters he's "gotta give [Kmet] a better ball."

Despite falling to Green Bay, Williams believes the Bears can learn a lot of from a heated matchup between the longtime rivals that felt like what he described as a "playoff atmosphere," especially since they will host the Packers at Soldier Field in two weeks.

"It's great, the energy. You love being in these games," Williams said. "You love being in these competitive games. You love being in these high-stakes games. You've gotta win on the road. Half the season is on the road, playoffs a lot of times [are] on the road. And so just being able to cherish these moments and learn from it, whether to win or loss, is really important."
