Caleb Williams was intercepted a career-worst four times, with three coming in the second quarter alone, in the Bears' win over the Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. He still managed to rank as a back-end QB1 in Week 9 pending Monday Night Football after completing 22 of 37 attempts for 279 yards and 2 TDs.

Williams had yet to throw an INT since returning from his hamstring injury in Week 6 before coughing up four to combine for six with opposing QB Baker Mayfield, the most in any game this season.
His 4 INTs matched QB Michael Penix Jr for the most in any week this season, with both of their high-turnover performances coming against a Buccaneers defense leading the league in INTs.
Since returning from injury, Williams ranks as the QB15, with his rushing production hampered. He’s averaging just 1.0 rushing point per game since returning from injury compared to 11.4 prior and 3.3 last season.
The Bears head into their Week 10 bye before a Week 11 matchup with a Saints defense that’s accounted for the ninth-fewest INTs and is boosting points to QBs by 6.5%.
