Key Points:

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams threw a game-tying touchdown to Cole Kmet late in the fourth quarter but had a crucial interception in overtime that ended the 2025 season with a 20-17 loss to the Rams.
The interception was attributed to a miscommunication between Williams and wide receiver DJ Moore regarding the route run during the final play.
Williams emphasized the importance of being fully synchronized on every play and acknowledged this as a key lesson from the loss.
He views the experience as a learning opportunity for himself and the Bears offense to improve team cohesion and execution moving forward.
Despite setbacks, Williams has shown significant growth since his rookie season and remains focused on addressing areas needing improvement to help the Bears advance next year
