Caleb Williams' 4,000-Yard Chase Meets Bears' No. 1 Seed Push in Sunday Night 49ers Test

Division clinched, Chicago visits Santa Clara with Williams 600 yards from a franchise-first 4,000.

Overview

  • Williams has 3,400 passing yards through 15 games, leaving 600 to reach 4,000 with two games remaining.
  • The Bears locked up the NFC North after the Packers lost to the Ravens, shifting focus to playoff seeding.
  • To stay on course for the NFC’s top seed, Chicago needs a win over the 49ers on Sunday night at Levi’s Stadium.
  • Chicago has never had a 4,000-yard passer; Erik Kramer holds the team record with 3,838 in 1995, with Jay Cutler occupying the next three spots and Williams’ 2024 total of 3,541 ranking fifth.
  • Williams’ single-game high this season is 298 yards, though he logged four 300-yard games as a rookie with a peak of 363, underscoring the difficulty of the late push.
