Two of the NFL’s highly touted and emerging talents meet Sunday at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis when Caleb Williams and the Bears (1-1) take to the field against Anthony Richardson and the Colts (0-2).
Drafted 1st overall this past April, Caleb Williams has shown moments of excellence but through two games the rookie has predominantly struggled to move the chains throwing for just 267 yards and 2 INTs. His next TD pass will be his 1st in the NFL. Williams also has 59 yards rushing to lead Chicago.
Anthony Richardson was drafted 4th overall in 2023. The 2nd-year pro has thrown for over 200 yards in each of the Colts’ 1st two games this season, but he has completed just 49% of his passes (26-53) in the process. He has 3 passing and 1 rushing TD but has also fumbled twice and thrown 4 INTs in those same two games.
Both the Bears and Colts expect their quarterback to take a step and make plays Sunday.
Indianapolis leads the all-time series between the teams having won 25 of their 44 meetings.

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) is all in on the home team in this matchup:
“I love, love, love the Colts. Anthony Richardson, Jonathan Taylor, these guys are 0-2 and yet very hopeful in the AFC South Division that’s not that good. Now they get a rookie quarterback on the road in Caleb Williams with 148 and 205 total yards of that offense. Sounds like the Colts come away with their first win of the season. “
