Bears QB Caleb Williams responds to Tom Brady’s bold claim

nd Caleb Williams returned to action on Sunday and led the Chicago Bears to a bounce back win. He received a lot of praise from fans and analysts, including from Tom Brady, which he responded to after the game.

The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner missed the Bears’ previous three games due to a hamstring injury. They went 2-1, losing in Week 5 to their rivals, the Green Bay Packers. Williams entered Sunday’s matchup listed as questionable but ultimately started against the Atlanta Falcons. He completed 30-of-36 passes for 305 yards, one touchdown and zero interception in the 31-23 victory.

Meanwhile, Brady called the game with Fox Sports. He serves as its lead color analyst, signing a $10-year, $375 million deal in 2022. The seven-time Super Bowl champion is the highest-paid NFL analyst in history.

Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams discusses performance after Tom Brady’s comments

Williams addressed reporters during his postgame presser. Brady called his Week 6 performance as his best one and named him his LFG Player of the Game. The 24-year reacted to it by stressing the need to watch film to get even better.

“I didn’t know that I went 30-for-36 and so I gotta go obviously back and watch the tape,” Williams said. “I missed a couple things especially one late in the in the game, and I should have went to Rome (Odunze). He was pressed over there and went the opposite opposite direction and things like that. I missed another route that I felt like I should have hit. Trusting my guys.

“So I’ll go back. Obviously, it’s great to get the win, but when you win, it covers up things. And when you lose, it shows everything. We’ll go back. We’ll be truth tellers about ourselves and look in the mirror and figure out what we need to fix and get better at.”

Caleb Williams on Tom Brady calling this Performance his Best One:

“I didn’t know I went 30-for-36. I’ve got to go back and watch the tape. Winning covers up things, and losing shows everything. We’ll go back, be true tellers about ourselves, look in the mirror, and figure out what we need to fix and get better at.”

Holding himself to a High Standard, I love it.

Next for the Bears is a short week. They’ll play their next game on “Thursday Night Football” versus the New England Patriots at Soldier Field. It’s a big test for the team, especially Williams, as it will prove if he’s completely past the hamstring issue. The visiting team is on a three-game winning streak, including its Week 6 win over the New York Jets.
