The Chicago Bears aren’t waiting for their problems to get worse.

according to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports40-year-old Marcedes Lewis, fellow center and rookie Cole Kimmitt, as well as rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, met with Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron to discuss the team’s early season offensive struggles.

“We’re not a Pop Warner team. You have to coach us. Coach me even though I’m 19. Coach Caleb even though he’s a rookie,” Lewis said in the meeting, according to Glazer.

Williams was limited offensively, completing 70 passes on 118 attempts, recording 630 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions.

The Bears’ leading receiver, DJ Moore, only racked up 167 yards on 19 catches.
