Dj Moore probably just cost the Bears the game he just quit on that route
That was such a bad route/lack of effort in a gotta have it moment. They showed a better angle after the game it was egregious.

Maybe he was still having head issues. However, thats probably Loveland on that route if he were healthy.

Ok so Caleb takes a blow to the head and no call.

The DeVante Adams gets a glancing hand to the face and the throw the flag on 3rd and long. Boo!

But Rams D on short yardage held just enough.

Also, holy moly, does anyone remember Caleb and the Bears vs the Cardinals last year.

What a difference a year makes

Ben needs to incorporate him more in their running game. They were so bad in short yardage situations when the threat of a mobile QB should make it easier.

Caleb still needs to make a leap in accuracy. Its very hard to keep winning those close games. Rome seems to have some MHJ like disappearing acts/lack of toughness. DJ Moore looks to be physically slowing down.

Imperative Caleb gets more accurate/maybe add another vet WR or they'll be next years Commanders.

I agree but Caleb is significantly more accurate and doesn’t shotgun everything.

There were times in that game he outplayed Stafford. Just not enough

Ben Johnson how do you not call a timeout?

As I was watching the Rams go uptempo Im wondering why isnt Ben Johnson calling a timeout? Save your defense.

Yeah he makes the long 3s but misses layups
The only reason he makes the miracle throw is because he missed a wide open Burden earlier.

Its a problem. Maybe Ben kept running on 3rd/4th and short because he didnt trust Caleb's short passing game.

Sure but to be fair, Burden had a huge drop earlier in the drive(or maybe the drive before). Caleb is not a finished product but he has so much talent
