It's become clear to everyone who watches Chicago Bears football that Caleb Williams is just different from any quarterback who has walked the streets of the Windy City.
After being down 21-3 at halftime, Williams led an incredible comeback with some great passes that helped the Bears stun the Green Bay Packers in front of Soldier Field, 31-27. He finished with 361 yards and two touchdowns to two interceptions while adding 20 rushing yards in the victory.
After the game, Williams spoke with the Prime Video panel and discussed those moments late in the game and his mindset. The young second-year quarterback couldn't even remember the whole thing.
"I kind of black out. I like to be as calm as possible for the guys ... you want to be as calm as possible, especially in this position ... Colston (Loveland) told me that I smiled at the guys and said 'this is our time.'"
Caleb Williams is just....different from other quarterbacks
Bears just have to accept that this offense is a slow starter, as it continues to be the trend, but once they are in the moment and have played for a while, they can do anything. There's no doubt that Williams is unstoppable when he is on.
It was another game where Williams' back was up against the wall, and he led a furious comeback by making some of the most incredible throws. His throw off his back foot to connect with Rome Odunze near the sidelines for a long first down in the fourth quarter was just one example of the many, many plays Williams made.
This is the seventh time this season that Williams has led a comeback win and a game-winning drive for the Chicago Bears. That is not only the most in the NFL, but it is almost unheard of for a second-year quarterback, still developing, to complete such a feat.
Bears fans would love for Williams to become more accurate as a passer, as his misses can be costly, but he is still growing as a passer and has improved since his rookie season. He will learn with time and development under Bears head coach Ben Johnson how to get better there.

What Johnson can't teach Williams is the intangibles of winning under pressure and leading his team to a comeback win, no matter the deficit. That's where Williams stands alone as his Bears are now legit Super Bowl contenders because of it.
