The firing of coordinator Shane Waldron has made quite the difference for the Chicago Bears' offense.

Not only did they look far better as a unit in their loss to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday, but No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams is back to making highlight-reel plays.

In the first quarter of their Week 12 contest against the Minnesota Vikings, Williams rolled right away from pressure before leaping to make a ridiculous jump pass. The throw was perfectly placed into the bread basket of running back D'Andre Swift for a 30-yard gain.

Here's a look at the play:

The Bears finished the drive with a one-yard touchdown run from running back Roschon Johnson to take an early lead over the Vikings.

Williams finished the drive 3 of 3 passing for 80 yards—with completions to Swift and wide receivers Keenan Allen and DJ Moore.
