Chicago matched its total number of first-quarter touchdowns from 2024 with three, including a 65-yard touchdown from Caleb Williams to rookie Luther Burden III, his career first. Williams had a strong day, finishing with 298 passing yards and four touchdown passes.

Ben Johnson and the Bears had some fun at the expense of Dallas’ defense. Will that be the norm moving forward?

Dallas thought they were looking at a winning streak, but they are instead looking at a season going off the rails early.

Bryan Anger had a lousy net punting day if we want to split hairs, and Brandon Aubrey still hasn’t figured out how to tame his big leg and keep from sending too many kickoffs into the end zone for touchbacks to the 35. Neither of these factored into the game in a major way.
