Caleb Williams credits his "best coach in the world" after a clutch overtime win. Witness jaw-dropping fourth-quarter heroics and unwavering belief.
Caleb Williams let people know just how he feels about head coach Ben Johnson and the supporting cast that the Chicago Bears have.
Williams and the Bears won 22-16 over the Green Bay Packers in overtime on Saturday night. Williams had two massive touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and overtime to seal the win.
The first was on 4th down, as the Bears needed to tie the game. He threw a pass on the run to rookie Jahdae Walker to tie the game at 16 and force overtime.
He then threw the game-winning touchdown pass to D.J. Moore in overtime to secure the hard-fought victory.
Williams didn't mince any words when talking about his coach, stating, "I've got the best coach in the world," at the post-game presser. If you had any doubts about what Williams thinks about Johnson's play-calling abilities, they should now be erased.
"I got the best coach in the world," Williams said. "Let's put it that way. And we have the best coaching staff in the world, and so you put the talent with the people, and the coaches that care, you can strive for anything, you can reach anything, you can go after any goal. When you go out there on that football field, your belief is at an all-time high between players, between coaches, and you have outcomes like this."
Williams has the utmost faith in Johnson, which allows him to believe in what the head coach is trying to do in those clutch moments, as fans saw on Saturday night. The quarterback finished with 250 passing yards and two touchdowns, but the game didn't start that smoothly for him.
The Bears' offense struggled throughout the game, not scoring a touchdown until the fourth quarter. Chicago settled for three field goals until that great play design from Johnson in crunch time.
While the game didn't go as well as it could've for the Bears, Williams knew that at the end of the day, Johnson would draw up the right plays for the clutch moments.
That kind of belief has helped Williams and this Bears team in various instances this season. It all started with the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4. Chicago was down 24-19 with 6:45 to go.
Williams marched the offense down the field, as D'Andre Swift scored the go-ahead touchdown. The Raiders got in position to hit a game-winning field goal, but it was blocked.
We could go on and on about how the Bears have been calm and collected in the fourth quarter this season. Now it's time to see how much further this team's belief in their head coach can take them.
