On Sunday, Caleb Williams made his highly anticipated debut for the Chicago Bears and the NFL, leading his team to a thrilling 24-17 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Despite the win, Williams’ performance as a rookie quarterback was not exactly stellar, as he only managed to complete 14 out of 29 passes for 93 yards. Interestingly, the Bears’ offense failed to contribute any touchdowns, with the team scoring through a blocked punt and an interception by the defense.
Critics were quick to point out Williams’ lackluster stats, considering he was the No. 1 pick. However, the young quarterback remained unfazed by the external noise, emphasizing that the most important thing is that the Bears secured the victory. “Yeah, I don’t care about stats. I feel great. To be honest with you, I feel great,” Williams confidently stated.
Despite the win, Williams acknowledged that there is always room for improvement as the season progresses. He is determined to lead the team to be the most efficient on the field and believes that there were areas in the game where he fell short. “Obviously, we didn’t perform how we wanted to (offensively). We want to be the most efficient team out there, myself included. Didn’t perform the way I wanted to. I missed a few passes that I normally don’t miss. All these other things,” Williams admitted.
As Williams continues to adjust to the NFL and the pressures of being a top draft pick, his focus remains on leading the Bears to victory and silencing the critics through his performance on the field. The rookie quarterback’s journey in the league has just begun, and there is much anticipation surrounding his potential and growth as a player in the future.
