One of the highlight moments from the Chicago Bears' 31-27 win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Wild Card game is one pass from quarterback Caleb Williams that saved the season.
Late in the game on fourth-and-eight, Williams was forced to throw off his back foot to connect with Rome Odunze for a critical first down. That led the Bears to finish the job, erasing an 18-point deficit in the second half to win.
When asked about that play by reporters, Williams just nonchalantly responded with an answer that reminds everyone that his confidence level is way higher than most quarterbacks in the NFL.
"I've had a couple of passes like that going left where I ended up being in the air. I've been kinda used to it."
Not everyone can do what Caleb Williams did on the Rome Odunze completion
Williams finished the game with 361 yards and two touchdowns while adding another 20 yards rushing in the win over the Packers. While the first three quarters were tough on Williams, with two interceptions and a completion percentage tanking below 50%, he fought through it and put together the most important performance of his career.
From the Odunze completion to connecting with Colston Loveland after that play to the sidelines, Williams' accuracy when his back is up against the wall is insane. There are not many quarterbacks who can show that kind of skill while down in games.
A quick reminder, though, that Williams has done so seven times, bringing the Bears back on the final drive with a game-winning score. Three of those times, the Bears were down by 10 or more points with under five minutes to go in the game.

Everyone wants to point out the accuracy issues with Williams after finishing the Packers game with 50% completion percentage, which is a fair criticism, but this man is making throws that most quarterbacks in NFL history are not able to make. It's too soon to put him in the elite category, but Williams is certainly proving to be in the conversation as one of the top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL.
