Caleb Williams
Williams returned after missing three games with right hamstring injury to lead Bears to 31-23 win over Falcons.
“Williams completed his first 12 passes against the Falcons, including a rolling, 14-yard TD strike to Colston Loveland.”
Kyler Gordon
Gordon, activated from PUP list, recorded three sacks of Michael Penix Jr. and five QB pressures.
“Gordon, who was limited to just three games last season while dealing with soft-tissue issues, was essentially Chicago’s best pass-rusher on Sunday.”
Jeff Ulbrich
Ulbrich, Falcons’ defensive coordinator, lost wife Christina to cancer but continued working.
“Ulbrich walked his usual laps around the field while wearing a T-shirt with the message, 'I play for Christina Ulbrich.'”
Kendal Daniels
Daniels, Falcons’ rookie linebacker, suffered neck injury and was carted off field.
“Daniels was fully conscious when he left the stadium had movement in all of his extremities.”
Kyle Pitts
Pitts scored two touchdowns to help Falcons rally in fourth quarter.
“Pitts had three TDs in two games after scoring zero TDs in first four games.”
Atlanta’s Homefield Advantage
Mercedes-Benz Stadium saw Bears crowd takeover with pro-Chicago fans.
“The Falcons’ fan base has its contingent of loyalists, but too many season ticket holders are prone to sell their seats to visiting fans.”
Xavier Woods
Woods lost role after Bears activated Kyler Gordon from PUP list.
“The Bears released one of their 'starting' safeties on Saturday when they activated defensive back Kyler Gordon from the PUP list.”
Zachariah Branch
Branch muffed punt, leading to Falcons' game momentum loss.
“Branch muffed a punt at the Falcons’ 10-yard line, recovered by Josh Blackwell, that killed the momentum after Atlanta clawed back into the game.”
Divine Deablo
Deablo, Falcons’ inside linebacker, left game with arm injury.
“Deablo was one of his unit’s most consistent players but did not return after being knocked out with an arm injury.”
