Keanu Reeves contacts Bears' Caleb Williams ahead of Week 6 return win

Caleb Williams, the Chicago Bears quarterback, made a triumphant return to the starting lineup in Sunday's 31-23 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, after missing three games due to a hamstring injury. In preparation for his return, Williams changed his profile picture to John Wick, the iconic character portrayed by Keanu Reeves, and updated his bio with the phrase "I'm inevitable".

After the win, Williams revealed that Reeves had actually reached out to him, which inspired the change in the profile picture. Williams expressed his admiration for Reeves, stating that he is a big fan of his work and that Reeves' mindset of inevitability influenced his own. Williams' performance against the Falcons was nothing short of inevitable, as he threw his 50th career touchdown on the opening drive, leading to a game with 31 total points, the Bears' second in the season.

This performance marked Williams' sixth game this season with over 300 passing yards and his first this season with a 83.3 percent completion percentage. Chicago will undoubtedly need Williams to continue his inevitable trajectory throughout the rest of the season, with their Thursday night game against the New England Patriots on the horizon.

So far, Williams has not won a Thursday game, but he has the chance to change that in Week 8, which could potentially propel the Bears to a 5-2 record for the season. Given the fierce competition in the NFC North, every win carries significant weight.
