It's hard not to be impressed with the work Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has done in almost two seasons in the NFL so far.
After a rough rookie season, Williams has put together quite a resume for himself in 2025. He has led the Bears to a 7-3 start, the best start for the franchise since 2018, and has led five game-winning drives for Chicago to have them in first place in the NFC North and the third seed in the NFC entering Week 12.
One other aspect of his play has been impressive: the interceptions (or lack thereof). Williams has thrown an interception on 1.1% of his throws, which would beat the NFL record currently held by Chicago's most hated quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, at 1.4%.
Williams is putting up historical numbers that should be acknowledged
Everyone is so fixated on the accuracy issues with Williams, who is currently at 59.7% for the season. While everyone knows about the problems Williams has had with hitting receivers on target, he is at least doing the most essential part of his job: protecting the football.
Last year, Williams threw just six interceptions on 562 pass attempts. This season, it's four interceptions with 325 pass attempts.
These are very small sample sizes compared to Rodgers, who has been in the NFL for nearly two decades, but the number one problem all young quarterbacks have off the bat is turnovers. That has not been the case for Williams.
What helped Williams last year was that he took an NFL-high 68 sacks, which took opportunities away for turnovers. The pass protection has been much better this season for Williams at 16 sacks, but he's been either using his legs or throwing it away in the face of pressure.

Williams' best trait as a quarterback is his decision-making, and it will rarely be the reason the Bears lose a game. Chicago will take accuracy issues over turnover any day of the year.
