Caleb Williams Just Took a Record From a Name Bears Fans Know Too Well
Aaron Rodgers spent years giving Bears fans reasons to look away. Caleb Williams has given them a reason to look […]
Caleb Williams has outdone Aaron Rodgers' record for the longest streak of games with at least 20 pass attempts and no more than one interception. During his team's 34-17 victory over Seattle, the young quarterback completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. According to the Bears' official stats, this achievement surpasses Rodgers' record, tying for the longest such streak in NFL history.
Williams' ability to handle a meaningful passing workload without allowing multiple interceptions to become two is a significant strength. Seattle provided a useful example of the decisions behind breaking the record, with Williams completing throws while the defense allowed the fewest passing yards in the league.
Williams' restraint proved crucial throughout the streak, extending beyond that particular demanding opponent. Over 36 consecutive appearances, he has avoided games with multiple interceptions, which can quickly turn an offense's difficult afternoon into a team-wide problem. Despite some mistakes and penalties, the Bears answered when Seattle closed to 20-17, and Williams finished without giving the Seahawks an interception to help their comeback.
This recent milestone highlights Williams' proficiency in producing while limiting damaging mistakes, which gives his team more chances to finish the game.
