Bears QB Caleb Williams receives compelling take from ESPN analyst
Bears QB Caleb Williams receives compelling take from ESPN analyst originally appeared on The Sporting News Caleb Williams quickly erased doubts about his comfort with the offense under new Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson. He completed 6 of 10 passes, including a touchdown, in Chicago's 38-0 win over the Buffalo Bills last weekend. Entering his second season in the NFL and under a new head coach, Williams faces pressure to show real progress, especially with an offensive-minded coach like Johnson. He and his teammates are still adjusting to a new offense during practices and the preseason. Despite the national media's concern over Williams, one analyst is advising Bears fans to be excited about the future of the USC product under Johnson. Can Caleb Williams take the next step? ESPN NFL analyst Mina Kimes appeared on "SportsCenter," noting that Williams was able to run Johnson's offense and show glimpses of how it's meant to function, pointing out that there were shades of how the Bears head coach ran the system during his time with the Detroit Lions. "It was backups," Kimes said. "I feel like you always have to say that in the preseason, but it feels like the Bears fans should be pretty excited based on what they saw. This was the first glimpse we saw of the marriage between Ben Johnson, new head coach, play caller, and Caleb Williams. It was interesting. You saw some of the same hallmarks of the Ben Johnson offense in Detroit: Caleb was under center, condensed formations, misdirection, all that jazz." Additionally, Kimes offered a take regarding how Williams looks from season No. 1 to season No. 2 in Chicago. MORE:Colin Cowherd sounds off on Bears QB Caleb Williams' showing against Bills "You also saw Caleb look as comfortable as I have seen him in the NFL," Kimes added. "We showed earlier the scene ball that he ripped to Cole Kmet. He saw the safety drop, middle of the field open, ripped it. That's the Caleb Williams that was the No. 1 overall pick for a reason. That's the one Bears want to see—a guy who looks comfortable, accurate, decisive. Very promising start."

Fever awaits Sophie Cunningham MRI results as Indiana slides in new power ranking
Fever awaits Sophie Cunningham MRI results as Indiana slides in new power ranking originally appeared on The Sporting News Many things can be said about the Indiana Fever's 2025 season, but any discussion about the team's fortunes ultimately comes back to its injury luck -- or lack thereof. Superstar Caitlin Clark's return remains uncertain, and guards Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald are out for the rest of the 2025 season. In addition to that, fans are anxiously awaiting news about the status of guard Sophie Cunningham, who suffered a right knee injury during Sunday's dramatic overtime win over the Connecticut Sun. MORE: Fever's best passer without Caitlin Clark isn't who you'd expect At 19-16, the Fever remains in the thick of the WNBA playoff race; entering Tuesday's games, Indiana sits sixth in the standings with nine games remaining. Though All-Star duo Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston is doing everything possible to guide the Fever back to the postseason, ESPN's new power rankings have Indiana seventh out of the league's 13 teams -- one spot lower than last week. "The Fever trailed the Sun by 21 points and were reeling from the emotional blow of another teammate being hurt," ESPN's Michael Voepel wrote. "But they staged the biggest comeback in franchise history -- led by Kelsey Mitchell's 38 points -- to close it out 99-93 in overtime. This came after Indiana had lost to the Wings and the Mystics at home earlier in the week." Indiana lost some goodwill due to those two defeats, and this week, the Fever faces the WNBA-best Minnesota Lynx twice. As the team awaits word on Cunningham's status, head coach Stephanie White will have to draw from her players' well of resilience for back-to-back meetings with the presumptive #1 seed.
