Overview
- Williams extended a consecutive-games run to 36 on Monday, a streak the Bears define as games with at least 20 pass attempts and no more than one interception.
- Chicago’s official statistics say the 36-game run surpasses Aaron Rodgers’ previous mark under the same criteria.
- In the Nov. 2 win at Seattle, Williams completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards and one touchdown with zero interceptions while executing a complex game plan coach Ben Johnson called “one of the more elaborate” he has asked of the quarterback.
- The streak is part of a wider shift in Williams’ play toward higher completion percentage and passer rating, a change that has helped Chicago run to a three-game winning streak and its best 8-game start since 2012 at 6-2.
- Williams’ on-field refinement, guided by coaching messages about decisiveness and visible since his USC days, has increased national media attention and set a spotlight on the Bears ahead of their nationally televised home game on Nov. 8.
