Williams leads league at 72.5% completion rate; 83.3% vs. Atlanta sets career high

Williams leads the league with a 72.5% completion rate through three games in his second year under Ben Johnson, showing continued ascent and confidence. Against Atlanta, he completed 83.3% of passes (30-of-36 for 305 yards, 1 TD, 111.2 passer rating), setting a career high and the highest completion percentage by a Bears QB with 30+ attempts in franchise history. Johnson noted Williams quickly downloaded the game plan after missing time with injury and delivered efficient performance, saying 'He did a great job downloading the game plan, and sure enough, he was finding some open guys and delivering good footballs.' Williams is focused on building confidence in himself, the playbook, and his playmakers, stating 'It's building confidence in myself, building confidence in the playbook, building confidence in my wide-receivers and where they'll be, even if I can't see them.'
