PFM Team ScoreOffense RatingQB Stability

Without Williams, Chicago loses the quarterback who gives the offense its best chance to extend plays and create something when protection breaks down. The Bears can still function with Case Keenum or Tyson Bagent, but the offense becomes more limited and puts more pressure on the run game and receivers to keep drives moving.
