Frequently Asked Questions
What did Bears QBs coach J.T. Barrett say about Caleb Williams this offseason?
Barrett said his goal this offseason was to show Caleb Williams that 'We don't have to work as hard for our money,' meaning Williams shouldn't need to rely on spectacular plays to win football games. The idea is to get Williams taking what defenses give him, including dump-offs and checkdowns, to play more efficient football.
What records did Caleb Williams break in the 2025 season?
Williams broke the Chicago Bears franchise record for passing yards in a season during the 2025 campaign. He also led seven 4th quarter comebacks and won a playoff game.
What was Caleb Williams' biggest weakness in the 2025 season?
Despite his big strides, Williams had the worst completion percentage of any starting quarterback in the NFL in 2025. Too many easy throws were off-target or passed on entirely, making it a top priority for Bears coaches heading into 2026.
What is the Bears' record when Caleb Williams completes 67% or more of his passes?
The Bears are 5-2 in the seven games where Williams has completed 67% or more of his passes. They were a blocked field goal away from being 6-1 in those contests.
How does Donna Summer connect to Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears?
Bears QBs coach J.T. Barrett's quote about Williams not having to 'work as hard for our money' is a paraphrase of Donna Summer's iconic 1980s hit 'She Works Hard For The Money.' The song's message about underappreciated hard work parallels the lesson the Bears want Williams to learn — that he doesn't need to make spectacular plays every week to win football games.
