"If Caleb Williams throws for 270 yards in the Chicago Bears' regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, he will become the first quarterback in franchise history to reach 4,000 yards in a season. That's long been a goal of Williams, the 2024 No. 1 overall pick who publicly stated that he wanted to be the first to hit that threshold both as a rookie and ahead of his second season."
"Like I've said before, the self goals and all of that always get swept under when you go for the team goals, and that's winning ballgames, so that's first and foremost on my mind. That's first and foremost for this team, because the most important thing is winning ballgames and heading into the playoffs with some momentum and some good energy."
Caleb Williams needs 270 passing yards in the season finale to become the first Chicago Bears quarterback to reach 4,000 yards in a season. The Bears remain the only NFL franchise without a 4,000-yard passer. Williams publicly set the goal as both a rookie and ahead of his second season, but he emphasized team priorities over personal milestones. He averages 233.1 passing yards per game (12th in the NFL), has multiple passing touchdowns in each of his last four games, threw a season-high 330 yards versus the 49ers, and has reached 270 yards in four games this year.
