In his on-field interview immediately after the match, Williams said: “It felt great. Obviously we’ve got to keep getting better and I can’t turn the ball over like that with a wide open touchdown to DJ Moore.

“There were a few things going on throughout the game that I’ve got to be better at, but the progress we’ve had is going to keep growing.

“We have great leaders and great personalities in this team.

“A bunch of guys contributed throughout the whole game, and then the offensive line to be able to do what they do, I’ll always have love for the big guys and how they protect us. We wouldn’t have this type of game without them.”

The Bears lost two of their first three games this season but now find themselves 4-2 in a competitive NFC North. The Bears are on a bye week next week.

“I think his [Williams’] confidence week to week is growing,” said Kmet, 25, on the pitch after the game.

“He’s a special talent and a special person and I’m excited to see where this goes.”

On Sky Sports’ coverage, former NFL cornerback Jason Bell said it had been “an honour” to watch Williams in action, adding: “He’s making things look really easy and simple and that’s because of his command of this offence.”
