CHICAGO (AP) — Making his NFL debut with the Chicago Bears, Caleb Williams looked like a rookie quarterback. Except he won. Williams passed for just 93 yards and Chicago’s offense struggled against Tennessee. But Williams and the Bears had zero turnovers, and they used their defense and special teams to rally for an improbable 24-17 victory over the Titans. He missed some throws and held on to the ball too long at times, but the 22-year-old Williams became the first QB drafted No. 1 overall to win his first career start since David Carr in 2002.
