NFC Notes: Teddy Bridgewater, Lions, Bears, Packers

Bears

Fresh off a tough 6-3 loss to the Seahawks in Week 17, Bears first-round QB Caleb Williams talked about how this season can be good for his long-term development despite the struggles.

โ€œFrustrating, annoyed, but learning, I would say,โ€ Williams said, via Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. โ€œI definitely think that this is going to be good for me. Excited about this last game and then excited about the future.โ€

  • Bears GM Ryan Poles blamed training camp for their inevitable slow offensive starts in every game: โ€œI believe it stems back from training camp. Itโ€™s just some of the things that either werenโ€™t addressed, they werenโ€™t detailed enough, whatever that is.โ€ (Courtney Cronin)

Lions

Detroit brought QB Teddy Bridgewater back after he won a state championship as a high school coach for more veteran insurance in the quarterback room. Lions QB Hendon Hooker expected Bridgewater to re-sign with them eventually and embraced the competition for the backup spot.

โ€œThroughout all my years of playing football, Iโ€™ve always been in a quarterback competition,โ€ Hooker said, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. โ€œSo itโ€™s just the nature of the business. Just bring your game.โ€
