NFC Notes: Caleb Williams, Jordan Love, Bears, Lions, Packers

Bears

Bears first-round QB Caleb Williams said heโ€™s learning from his mistakes after throwing two interceptions in a loss to the Texans on Sunday night.

โ€œObviously I had the two stupid mistakes that wonโ€™t happen again,โ€ Williams said, via PFT. โ€œBut I think rhythm, pass game, getting the ball to receivers, I think I got better with getting the ball out of my hands, trying to stay in the right range of timing, the offensive linemen, myself, and the routes, I think those are the few spots Iโ€™ve gotten better at.โ€

  • Bears HC Matt Eberflus said they arenโ€™t making any changes to their offensive line based on โ€œmeritโ€ and are looking for consistency going forward: โ€œWeโ€™re looking for continuity, consistency and communication.โ€ (Scott Bair)
  • Eberflus is hopeful to get WR Keenan Allen (heel) back as soon as possible: โ€œ[Heโ€™s] still working thru his heel situation thereโ€ฆtrying to get him back on the grass as fast as possible.โ€ (Courtney Cronin)

Lions

The Lions have become one of the NFLโ€™s best teams, slow start to the season notwithstanding, and there are a lot of people in the building who deserve credit for the organizationโ€™s revival like HC Dan Campbell, GM Brad Holmes, QB Jared Goff and many more. But former Patriots HC Bill Belichick, in his role as a media commentator, says his former assistant Matt Patricia, the coach fired by the Lions before hiring Campbell, should get some recognition as well. 

โ€œI think that the Lions have built a really good offensive line for their quarterback, and they couldnโ€™t get a lot of production in the red area last week but thatโ€™s something that Matt Patricia started and now theyโ€™re kind of getting the fruits of the labor from him,โ€ Belichick said on the Letโ€™s Go podcast, via the Detroit Free Press.

Packers

  • According to Aaron Wilson, the Packers worked out WRs Jaray Jenkins and Cornelius Johnson on Tuesday. Johnson was later signed to the practice squad. 
  • According to Aaron Wilson, the Packers worked out three players, including OT Gottlieb Ayedze, OT Garret Greenfield and LB Tyreek Maddox-Williams.
  • Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) said he is taking this week โ€œday by dayโ€ before determining his availability for Week 3: โ€œIโ€™m going to take the week and just take it day by day and see how it feels. Iโ€™m not going to make any decisions right now. Iโ€™m hopeful that I can get to that point where I can get in there, but weโ€™re just going to take it day by day.โ€ (Ryan Wood)
