Caleb Williams led the Chicago Bears to a 7-0 first-quarter lead over the Minnesota Vikings in their "Monday Night Football" opener. Williams' impressive debut included a touchdown run and efficient passing. The Vikings' offense, led by J.J. McCarthy, struggled, going three-and-out on their first drive. Both teams faced key injuries; the Vikings were without star safety Harrison Smith, and the Bears lacked their top two cornerbacks. Soldier Field's condition was also a concern.
