Overview
- Williams has 3,730 passing yards and needs 270 to reach 4,000 and about 109 to break Erik Kramer’s 3,838-yard franchise record from 1995.
- Head coach Ben Johnson called 4,000 yards an arbitrary number and emphasized winning to lock in seeding, with starters set to play in Week 18.
- The Bears remain the NFL’s only franchise without a 4,000-yard passer in a single season.
- Williams said the milestone would be meaningful but stressed that team goals and playoff momentum come first.
- He has topped 270 yards four times this year, including 330 in Week 17 at San Francisco, and enters the finale with 25 touchdown passes and six interceptions.
