SAD NEWS: Chicago Bears top key player Caleb Williams was rushed to the hospital on a critical health condition it’s as result of…….

The Chicago Bears evened their record at 2-2 with Sunday’s 24-18 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, but questions remain about the passing game behind rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.

As he does every Wednesday, the Tribune’s Brad Biggs reaches into the mailbag to answer reader questions.

A bunch of folks have wondered about Moore’s production and the passing game in general, and they’re all good questions. For starters, I don’t believe an injury is in play for Moore. He has not been listed on the injury report, and the Bears would be flirting with significant penalties if they were playing shenanigans with league rules.

If Moore looked labored, consider he doesn’t come off the field very often. He logged 55 of the 60 offensive snaps in Sunday’s win. I’d also point out the 9-yard touchdown pass from Williams — a really nice throw — was the fourth play in a five-play stretch with no huddle. The Bears liked the matchup with the Rams defenders on the field and felt like they had momentum, so they opted for tempo. That meant less time for Moore — and everyone else — to gather themselves between snaps.

I don’t think Williams has looked particularly in sync with any of the wide receivers, so it’s not just Moore. There have been really good throws to all of them at specific moments and rookie Rome Odunze had a nice game in Week 3 in Indianapolis, but nothing has been consistent
