Williams carted off in Bears loss

What happened: With roughly seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Williams scrambled to his left and darted toward the end zone. Short of the goal line, Williams slid to the turf, writhing in pain.

Zoom in: Williams was helped off the field and carted from the sideline to the locker room. He left with a towel over his head but removed it to give the fans a thumbs-up.

• The Bears diagnosed Williams with a right hamstring injury. The severity — and whether he'll miss any time — is unknown.
• Coach Ben Johnson told the press after the game that they will conduct further tests and "will know a lot more tomorrow."

Meanwhile, under backup Tyson Bagent, the Bears' last-ditch effort came up short.

State of play: After scoring 59 points last week, the Bears offense crashed back down to Earth. Williams threw for just 138 yards with one interception.

• D'Andre Swift also fumbled at the goal line, and for the second straight week, the offensive line drew several flags.
• The defense carried the Bears, holding Minnesota to 246 yards and no touchdowns.
• The nonstop rain played a role, stymying both offenses at times.

Between the lines: In his third season, Williams has become the centerpiece of the Bears offense.

The bottom line: The Bears fall to 1-1 as fans hold their breath awaiting the severity of the injury.
