Bears WR Williams hasn’t lost confidence

Roy Williams only had one ball thrown his way Sunday, and that wasn’t until late in the fourth quarter.

Williams was in the end zone when a Caleb Hanie pass hit him in the hands for what would have been a 13-yard touchdown.

But Williams bobbled it, then lost it. It wound up in the arms of Chiefs safety Jon McGraw, and the Bears never crossed midfield again in the 10-3 loss to Kansas City.

“I saw it late,” Williams said. “I had it. I thought I had it. And it just came out.”

Asked about Hanie’s performance, Williams said: “I’m not Caleb. You’ve got to ask him. I’m just worried about myself. I’ve got to make my play. The play that he did (make), I’ve got to be the second part of that and make it, and then he’s the hero of the day.”

Although he began the season as a starter, Williams is fourth on the team with 24 catches and 335 yards. Others may have lost confidence in him, but Williams said he’s fine.

“My confidence is sky high,” he said. “I was waiting on the ball in the first, second and third quarter. I’m just waiting. Things like that (drop) are going to happen. You hope it doesn’t happen at critical times.

“But I’ll be ready to go next week. There’s no drop in my confidence. I’m not losing it or nothing like that.”

Not good enough:The Bears#146; defense allowed a season-low 252 total yards, but it was small consolation.#147;We didn#146;t make enough plays on defense,#148; linebacker Brian Urlacher said. #147;They made a couple big plays there in the second half.#147;Obviously we wanted to (make a play) at the end of the first half, and (the first possession) in the second half. We just didn#146;t get take-aways. If we don#146;t get take-aways on defense, we#146;re not going to win many games.#148;For the second straight game (both losses) the defense got just 1 take-away. In the previous two games (both victories) the defense took the ball away nine times.Safety in numbers:Strong safety Major Wright did not play in the second half because of a shoulder injury. Although he and Brandon Meriweather had been sharing time at the position, the Bears went with Craig Steltz exclusively after halftime, and he finished with a game-high 10 tackles and forced a fumble.#147;You have to prepare every week like you#146;re the starter,#148; Steltz said, #147;and today I had an opportunity.#148;Before he left, Wright pressured Chiefs quarterback Kyle Orton on his only snap of the day, a flea-flicker on the first playoff the second quarter.Wright forced an incompletion and knocked Orton out of the game with a finger injury.
