There’s still a lot of work to be done for the Chicago Bears.

Let’s throw out some numbers right away.

Attack

QB Caleb Williams | C+

I’m not even mad about Williams’ interceptions. What was he supposed to do? He has zero help. The line stinks, the play-calling stinks, the personnel usage stinks; it all stinks around the rookie tonight. Despite all the talk about the incredible situation Williams found himself in, it certainly didn’t look like what was advertised. When Williams had time to structure, he was damn good tonight. Even when he didn’t, he wasn’t bad.

RB D’André Swift | D

Money well spent… no.

WR DJ Moore | A

Ten targets, six catches and nearly nine yards per reception, DJ did his job, though he wasn’t used well tonight against a Houston secondary with a glaring weakness against the deep ball.

WR Rome Odunze | A

Even with an MCL sprain, the rookie was on the field all night.

TE Cole Kmet | B

It was nice to see Shane Waldron remember Cole Kmet playing on this team.

Gerald Everett | F

Have you ever had a coworker whose bosses loved him or her, but you didn’t know what he or she had to offer? That’s Gerald Everett.

Offensive Line | F

This group has serious issues that need to be resolved quickly. To steal a joke from Matt Rooney, at some point we have to imagine Nate Davis pulling a “Costanza” and trying to get fired.

Defense

Defense Line | A

Sacks, pressure and everything in between. What was once seen as a glaring weakness for the Bears, this unit has held its own and then some through the first two games of the season.

Linebackers | One

The open-field tackles continue to be incredibly impressive. Chicago has two professional and reliable linebackers, so it’s a nice throwback to the Urlacher and Briggs days. Sanborn has also been an excellent changeup for the Bears on the field.

Secondary | One

It wasn’t perfect, but this unit held up against some of the best attacking passing in football and made excellent adjustments as the game progressed.

Special teams

K Cairo Santos | A

Perfect evening, perfect grade.

P Tory Taylor | A

Another great night for the rookie punter tonight in Houston.

Accompaniment

Matt Eberflus | D

Going 0-for-2 on challenges is bad enough, but the two challenges Eberflus lost were brutally bad calls. One of them, Eberflus, was right in front of the play—an unforgivable way to lose two timeouts. He would have gotten an F if he hadn’t called plays on defense.

Shane Waldron | F

If there was a worse grade, Luke Getsy would have gotten it tonight. His play calling was abysmal. (Yes… I did that on purpose)

Eric Washington | A

How could I complain about Washington when the defense played so well against a top ten offensive unit?
