Pro Bowl WR disrespected Caleb Williams in the worst way on Pat McAfee's show

The Chicago Bears’ Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals was a game that many won’t forget.

Both teams traded touchdowns and ran up the score, and the Bengals took a one-point lead with 54 seconds left on the clock. Most Bears fans probably thought the game was over. 

Well, Caleb Williams and Colston Loveland connected for a 58-yard touchdown for the game-deciding points with 17 seconds left on the clock. The Bears ended up winning, 47-42. 

Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase caught six passes for 111 yards in that game, and he watched his team lose devastatingly. 

Chase and fellow wide receiver Tee Higgins joined the Pat McAfee Show, and while the two were on set, Chase mentioned a unique name. 

“Caleb Daniels.” 

McAfee and the rest of the hosts played along like they knew who Chase was referring to, until McAfee interrupted the conversation by asking, “Who is Caleb Daniels?”

The panel laughed, and then Chase said, “I don’t know what the f— his first name is. What’s his name? What’s the quarterback for the Bears?”

Ja'Marr Chase forgot Caleb Williams' name on the Pat McAfee Show

This doesn’t need to be blown out of proportion, and it seemed like an honest mental lapse from Chase. He combined Williams and Jayden Daniels, who went back-to-back in the 2024 NFL Draft as the top two picks. 

However, Chase should know an ascending star’s name in the NFL, especially with all of the incredible throws and come-from-behind wins that Williams helped lead this past season. 

And Williams took note of Chase forgetting his name. The Bears' quarterback went on X and his retweet says it all.

His touchdown throw to Cole Kmet against the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round at Soldier Field had the entire NFL world talking on social media. Outside of what Williams can do on a football field, he was named GQ’s Most Stylish Football Player for a second year in a row.

As Williams continues his NFL career, there is a high chance Chase won’t forget who the franchise quarterback is for the Chicago Bears.
