A stunning touchdown throw showcased Caleb Williams' unparalleled confidence and game-changing ability. He believes he can make any play, and Sunday proved it.
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was on a different level on Sunday in the 31-3 win over the Cleveland Browns.
The Bears got out to a hot start in the first quarter, going up 14-0 after touchdowns from D'Andre Swift and D.J. Moore. The offense cooled off in the second quarter, but luckily, the defense kept Cleveland in check, allowing only one field goal.
Things picked back up in the third quarter, as Williams threw an insane touchdown pass to Moore that was placed perfectly between two Browns' defenders. The quarterback scrambled out of pressure to heave an absolute dart to Moore, as Williams almost ran out of bounds.
Swift added another rushing touchdown to the scoreboard in the second half, then the Bears capped off the scoring with a field goal from kicker Cairo Santos.
After the game, Williams was asked if the touchdown pass was a bad decision. He disagreed and said he can make any throw he wants.
"Nah, I can make any throw." Williams said.
This is the kind of play that the Bears need from Williams down the stretch. He ended his day with 242 passing yards, 13 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
The Bears take on the Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions to finish the regular season. At this point in the year, every game is going to be of the utmost importance.
After Sunday's game, Williams now has 3,150 passing yards, 21 touchdowns and six interceptions. That throw to Moore on Sunday is just what the Bears drafted the quarterback for with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
This kind of play from Chicago's quarterback is precisely what the franchise needs as it makes one last playoff push with so much on the line.
Saturday's game with the Packers will be crucial. The teams are already familiar with each other, as they played in Week 14, with Green Bay taking the win, 28-21.
Even though Williams didn't play his best game in the first half, he woke up in the second half. The Bears came up just short after the interception on 4th-and-1 inside the Green Bay red zone.
If the Packers lose to the Denver Broncos, the Bears will reclaim the top spot in the NFC North, making things even more interesting for next Saturday.
Either way, all eyes will be on the Packers and Bears in Week 16. Kickoff is set for 7:20 p.m. CT on NBC.
