In a rookie season that figures to be a rollercoaster, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams hopes he hit his nadir in his first-ever NFL game.
“I need to be better,” he said.
Williams’ performance in Sunday’s 24-17 win against the Titans— 14-for-29 for 93 yards and a 55.7 passer rating — was, statistically, one of the worst in franchise history. Other three other Bears starting quarterbacks who threw at least 29 passes in a game finished with both fewer passing yards and a worse passer rating than Williams: Jack Concannon against the Lions in 1969, Vince Evans against the Chiefs in 1981 and Cade McNown against the 49ers in 2000.
