One of the biggest stories during the 2025 NFL season was quarterback Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears. Chicago finished with an 11-6 record, and they won the NFC North title. The Bears lost to the Los Angeles Rams in overtime in the NFC Divisional Round. They also beat the Green Bay Packers twice last season.

Williams had some growing pains in his second NFL season, but it was also Ben Johnson’s first season as head coach with the team after being the Detroit Lions offensive coordinator. During the 2025 NFL season, he completed 58.1% of his passes for 3,942 yards, 27 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He also rushed for 388 yards on 77 carries and three touchdowns, along with averaging 5.0 yards per reception. Williams has a lot of talent on offense and they can be even better next season.

104.3 the Score in Chicago, Illinois, had some interesting sports takes on Friday. Ruthie Polinsky was on air and talked about Williams and said, “Caleb Williams is the Steph Curry of the NFL. Think about that throw to DJ Moore in the bucket. How about the throw to Cole Kmet — 51 air yards … the crazy things that happen.” Williams will be participating in the celebrity three-point shootout during NBA all-star weekend.
Also, Polinsky also mentioned about the throws he made against the Packers to D.J. Moore in overtime and also the throw he made to Cole Kmet against the Rams in the fourth quarter with the season on the line. There is no doubt that a lot of people were impressed with those plays. Williams is hit or miss with his passes. He will no doubt need to get his completion percentage up next year and Williams has a chance to throw for over 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns next season also.
