Ben Johnson
Head coach of the Chicago Bears
“There was probably a little bit more noise coming out of their building up north to start the week, which we heard loud and clear, players and coaches alike. This one meant something to us.”

“Doesn't look good for either one of them.”

Caleb Williams
Rookie quarterback for the Chicago Bears
“It's fourth down. I got to put the ball in play. Rome went and made a great catch, adjusting to the ball. I threw him up field. I think 25 was trailing him and so put it up field a little bit. It creates an awkward angle for him and makes it a little bit easier to catch for Rome.”

Rome Odunze
Wide receiver for the Chicago Bears
“It’s the best throw until he makes the next best throw, you know what I'm saying? You could say that every week with this dude. Man, he's a spectacular talent. Super happy to be his teammate and watch him thrive out there.”
