Caleb Williams recorded his first 300 yard game of 2025 in the shootout against the 49ers on Sunday night. He added two touchdown passes (both absolute highlight throws) to the ledger and now sits at a comfortable
25 on the year. Caleb surpassed both the TD and yardage over/under bets from the sportsbooks during this game so congratulations to those of you who responsibly put a coin down on that one.
With 3,730 yards, Williams sits just 109 yards away from Breaking Kramer’s mark. I know some of you are obsessed with the 16 vs 17 game schedule (not me) but if Caleb sat out the finale, this would be the third highest passing yard total in franchise history. Short of something crazy happening against Detroit, Caleb will own this single season mark. The real question is will he get the requisite 270 yards to break the 4k barrier. Yes, it’s just an arbitrary round number but the Bears are the only team to not have this in the history books so let’s break through, please and thank you.
I’ll mention this again now that we’re nearing the end of the regular season but Caleb continuing to build on his TD:INT ratio, now at 3.75, good for 2nd place in league history, is something we’ll absolutely want to track as he moves through his career. Another clean sheet on Sunday against the Lions would leave him with only twelve picks (six each season) over 34 professional starts. Incredibly impressive.
Speaking of the 34 starts, Caleb is the first Chicago Bears quarterback since Bob Avellini in 1976-1977 to start every game for his squad in back to back seasons. The foundation and growth that Caleb Williams has shown this season, in addition to his athleticism and toughness through his first two years, should be enough for even the most curmudgeon Bears fan to get excited about.
Here are the updated stats on the Infogram:
You may remember from last year that these infographics have the ability to hold a lot of information and they can be interactive. In addition to passing yards and TDs on either side of the chart, the tree chart tracks receptions and yardage distribution to the receivers. You can click on the “Yards” tab to see that breakdown. Touchdowns are tracked on the bottom chart.
Last year’s chart I decided to keep around in case you wanted to check back to see what this looked like. That’s the second page of the tracker.
