Ohio State didn’t take the field this past weekend, but the playoff picture sharpened anyway. Bowl season churned on, narratives shifted, and the College Football Playoff quarterfinals came into full focus.

Well… that was fun. Yes, the final score still stings, but not in the same way it used to. Not anymore. And I think — at least for me — that shift is rooted in something the Bears haven’t had in a very long time: trust. Trust that Caleb Williams can flip the script the next time he gets the ball with the game on the line. Ben Johnson has been pretty clear about where his second-year quarterback is in the developmental arc. The “operational” phase is over. The foundation is set. Now c...
