Caleb Williams is keeping receipts after Packers’ Zaire Franklin goes off on Bears

Caleb Williams is holding onto evidence following the fiery outburst from Green Bay Packers linebacker Zaire Franklin on the Packers' recent 31-7 loss to the Chicago Bears. The former Second-Team All-Pro took aim at Burden III’s comments and extended his criticism towards the team. Franklin emphasized that players who fail to make an impact in the league should refrain from speaking about making opponents quit.

In fact, Burden III himself admitted to quitting during the game. This post-game remark from Franklin is expected to be remembered by Williams during their upcoming clash on Christmas Day. The Bears must now face a challenging schedule that includes games against the Atlanta Falcons and the Super Bowl 60 participants. However, before confronting the Packers once again, they must tackle a tough series against Atlanta and the 2020 champions.

Caleb Williams is expected to return from injury for the Week 6 game. Despite suffering a hamstring strain in September, Williams had a solid outing before the injury, completing 65.5% of his passes for 407 yards and two touchdowns, while adding another 107 rushing yards and two touchdowns. The team managed to secure home victories over the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets, but the overwhelming loss to the Packers served as a harsh reminder that the offense cannot carry the team without its star player, No. 18.

Based on Williams' past performances, he has proven capable of turning momentum in his favor against the Packers, a skill he demonstrated twice during the previous season.
