In the post-game press conference, Caleb Williams remained confident that despite the 0-2 record, they can go on a winning streak for the rest of the season and still be a contender for the playoffs.

"We got 15 more games. It's the first two games, and there's been multiple occasions teams that rally back and go on a run and that's were focused on," William said. "And to do that, you got to focus on the next one. This game's over. They scored a bunch of points, we didn't score enough."

"That's typically how football works. You don't score enought points, ... you tend to lose the game. So, being able to move on to the next game, next play, whatever the case may be, is where we're focused."

Emmanuel Acho calls out Caleb Williams for his performance against the Lions in Week 2

Former NFL star Emmanuel Acho did not mince his words while calling out the way the Bears quarterback performed in Week 2.

On X, he shared a clip that showcased the interception that Caleb Williams threw against the Lions. Acho stated that the 2022 Heisman winner needs to realize he is not in college anymore and is playing at the professional level. Thus, Williams' focus should be on making quick passes instead of making hero plays.

"Somebody got to tell Caleb you're not still in USC bruh," Acho said. "This is the NFL. If you lucky enough to get out of something like this, throw the ball away clearly. Don't try to make a hero throw and get picked off. You not playing against Oregon State bro. This is the league. ... Just throw it away!!"
