Caleb Williams has thrown 255 passes without being intercepted, the longest streak ever by a rookie quarterback.
It’s not a streak worth preserving.
Not when the Bears average 288.5 yards per game, the fewest in the NFL. They average 182.7 passing yards per game, the third-fewest in the league.
Not when the team is on a seven-game losing streak that has claimed Williams’ head coach, offensive coordinator and whatever sense of joy the Bears’ go-for-it season was supposed to provide.
And not when Williams ranks 32nd out of 41 qualifying quarterbacks in aggressiveness percentage, which NFL Next Gen Stats uses to measures how often a quarterback throws into tight coverage.
