Bears QB Williams: Need to be on same page with Moore, WRs - ESPN

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Caleb Williams stressed the importance of being on the same page with his wide receivers after DJ Moore faced criticism for his route-running effort on the play that resulted in a game-changing interception during the Chicago Bears' 20-17 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Following the game, Williams labeled the interception as a «miscommunication» between him and Moore. Williams said he had not spoken to Moore about the play as of late Monday morning but feels a conversation needs to be had with Moore and all of Chicago's receivers.

«Small things like that that show up in those moments that you may not have talked about, being on the same page, maybe you talked about it in Week 1 or Week 6 and it shows up in [Week 20],» Williams said. «You know, it's something to learn from for myself, a learning experience, it's something for us to learn from as an offense and as a team. We'll go do that at some time.»

Moore was not present in the locker room postgame nor during Monday's locker cleanout.

The Bears faced second-and-8 from the Rams' 48-yard line on their lone possession in overtime after Los Angeles went three-and-out to start the extra period. With time to throw from a clean pocket, Williams took a shot downfield on a pass that would have put the Bears into field goal range. But instead of connecting with Moore, Williams' throw was intercepted when Rams safety Kam Curl cut in front of the wide receiver.

Los Angeles won the game and advanced to the NFC Championship Game after kicking a 42-yard field goal on its ensuing possession.

Against the Rams, Moore had a team-high five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown. The 28-year-old receiver was criticized for appearing to jog on his route and drift
