In 13 snaps that spanned two drives, Williams was 6-for-10 for 107 yards, a touchdown and a 103.6 passer rating. His preseason debut under coach Ben Johnson comes after his best stretch of training camp, which included a joint practice with the Bills on Friday. He was 9-for-10 in 7-on-7 drills and found wide receiver Rome Odunze for back-to-back touchdowns during a red zone period. Williams connected with Zaccheaus over the middle on third down that the receiver took 45 yards for a touchdown during an 11-on-11 period. Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent took over for Williams on the Bears' third drive and played until late in the third quarter.
