Fox Sports has identified Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams as a central figure after reporting that he accounted for four touchdowns in the Bears’ Week 1 win over Carolina. Williams was credited with 269 passing yards and two passing touchdowns, as well as 65 rushing yards and two further scores.
