    Caleb Williams’ dual-threat ability — potent arm and explosive legs — makes him a game-planning headache that keeps defensive coordinators up at night.

    Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is a dynamic threat under center. 

    His arm talent stands out off the bat, and it has shown up multiple times this season. His longest throw of the year so far has been 65 yards, and he recently got close to breaking that in the 47-42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. 

    He threw a 58-yard touchdown pass to tight end Colston Loveland on the game-winning drive. There is another side to his game that is just as deadly. 

    Williams showcased his arm and his ability to run in the 24-20 win against the New York Giants on Sunday. He finished with 220 passing yards, 63 rushing yards and two total touchdowns. His two scores came in the fourth quarter, including a 17-yard touchdown run that sealed the win. 

    On Wednesday, the quarterback understood just how frustrating it can be to gameplan against a quarterback like him. 

    "There aren't many designed runs for me," Williams said. "I'm more of a throwing q (quarterback). I just so happen that I can run when the time comes that they open up a gap or there's space available for me. I understand that my legs can be a spark or my legs can be a threat. I also know that defensive coordinators hate that, because they typically account for all 10 other players on the field. The QB is typically one that just drops back and throws the rock around."

    This season, Williams has 2,136 passing yards, 246 rushing yards, 16 total touchdowns and four interceptions. He has really come into his own in Ben Johnson's offense. 

    He's been looking good lately, but there have been certain points where he's encountered a learning curve. He had a stretch against the Baltimore Ravens and New Orleans Saints, where he didn't throw any touchdown passes and had two interceptions in those games. 

    However, outside of that, he has scored touchdowns in other every game this season. 

    The former No. 1 overall pick and his team will take on a division foe in Week 11, as the Minnesota Vikings come to town. Minnesota won the first matchup in Week 1, 27-24, despite an inspired Chicago comeback in the fourth quarter. 

    The Bears are now 6-3 but have yet to win a game against an NFC North opponent in 2025. Chicago looks to change that on Sunday, with a noon CT kickoff from Soldier Field.
