It has hardly been smooth sailing for Bears quarterback Caleb Williams in his rookie season, and the most treacherous waters lie ahead.
While much has been made about the Packers game Sunday being the launch of a brutal second half of the schedule for the Bears — the fiercest in the NFL with a current .708 collective opponent winning percentage — it also is the beginning of the biggest challenge of Williams’ young football career.
All but two of his remaining opponents — all three NFC North teams twice, plus the 49ers and Seahawks — are in the top third of the league in scoring defense and every one of them is in the top half in pressuring quarterbacks and ranked 17th or better in opponent passer rating.
