Overview

• Caleb Williams has been sacked 67 times this season, nine short of the NFL record set by David Carr in 2002, with one game remaining.
• Williams emphasized that many of these sacks are his fault, citing his tendency to hold the ball too long in search of big plays or perfect routes.
• NFL stats reveal that 51 of Williams' sacks occurred on plays where he held the ball for more than four seconds, the second-highest rate in the league.
• The Bears' offensive line, dealing with injuries and frequent lineup changes, ranks 18th in pass-block win rate, but Williams defended their effort and performance.
• Interim head coach Thomas Brown noted that Williams’ pre-snap awareness and decision-making under pressure are areas for improvement moving forward.
