Caleb Williams Targets 4,000 Yards and Bears Record in Week 18

Chicago will keep starters in to pursue seeding, giving the quarterback a clear shot at both milestones.

Overview

  • Williams enters the finale with 3,730 passing yards and 25 touchdowns after a 330-yard, two-score performance in Week 17.
  • He needs 270 passing yards to become the first quarterback in Bears history to reach 4,000 in a season.
  • He is 108–109 yards from surpassing Erik Kramer’s 1995 franchise mark of 3,838 passing yards.
  • Head coach Ben Johnson plans to play his starters to chase playoff position, and a win over Detroit would clinch the NFC’s No. 2 seed.
  • With Rome Odunze sidelined by a foot stress fracture, D.J. Moore and Luther Burden III have taken on larger roles, and Williams is set to join three predecessors as the fourth Bears QB to start every game in back-to-back seasons.
