The Chicago Bears are 1-1, but their offense has struggled to keep the ball moving consistently through two weeks. Just don't place any of the blame on rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze.
In a social media post on X, ESPN's Dan Orlovsky called out the former Washington Husky's inability to separate as a reason he and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams are having trouble getting on the same page so far. Odunze's father responded with a video of the young receiver running a slant route and getting open for what could have been an easy touchdown pass against the Tennessee Titans in Week 1.
"The Bears and Caleb are gonna have to get comfortable giving Rome more 'covered' opportunities," Orlovsky wrote on Wednesday. "Rome isn’t getting open at this level right now − Caleb will have to get comfortable throwing him some 50/50 balls."

At 3:30 a.m. ET on Thursday morning, he shared it again with a caption calling out Orlovsky directly: "A quick (2 GAMES out of 17) reference-guide for those with the initials D.O. and work for the Entertainment & Sports Programming Network ... W/respect."
Odunze was not targeted on the play, which instead ended in an incompletion as Williams targeted veteran receiver Keenan Allen on the other side of the field.
