US EditionChicago Bears’ Caleb Williams Ready for Shot at Becoming Team’s First 4,000-Yard Passer
Caleb Williams needs 270 yards against the Lions to surpass 4,000 yards and break the Bears' single-season passing record set in 1995, coach says team success is priority.
- On Sunday, Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears quarterback, needs 109 yards to surpass Erik Kramer’s 3,838-yard record and 270 yards to reach 4,000 at Soldier Field.
- As a franchise, Chicago has never had a 4,000-yard passer, making Caleb Williams' long-stated goal to become the Chicago Bears' first such quarterback uniquely notable.
- Fresh off a strong outing, Caleb Williams has reached 270 yards in four games, averages 233.1 yards per game, and has 25 touchdowns with six interceptions this season.
- Both Williams and Bears coach Ben Johnson stressed the record won't overshadow beating Detroit to clinch the NFC No. 2 seed and a 12-5 record.
- Williams framed the milestone as symbolic, saying `In 100 or however many years, it has never been done, so it symbolizes something`, while Ben Johnson downplayed 4,000 yards as arbitrary.
