Overview

  • Williams has 3,730 passing yards and needs about 109 to surpass Erik Kramer’s 1995 team record of 3,838 and 270 to reach 4,000.
  • He is coming off a season-high 330 yards against the 49ers and has 829 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions over the last three games.
  • Head coach Ben Johnson called 4,000 yards an arbitrary number and emphasized that winning the finale takes priority.
  • Williams said the milestone would be meaningful but reiterated that team goals come first as Chicago heads into the playoffs.
  • He is set to start a second straight full season, becoming just the fourth Bears quarterback to do so, while the team monitors WR Rome Odunze’s foot and lists LB Noah Sewell on injured reserve.
