Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams boldly called out Green Bay Packers fans, once again stirring up the storied rivalry. During his appearance at Fanatics Fest on Friday, Williams didn't shy away from expressing his disdain towards the Packers' fanbase, marking a fiery prelude to this season's matchups.

Last season, under Williams', the Bears tasted victory at Lambeau Field, snapping a grueling 10-game losing streak with a thrilling 24-22 win in the final game of the season. 

Williams, reflecting on the post-game attempt at a "Lambeau Leap" with Bears fans, shared, "After the game...we tried to jump into the crowd where our fans were. [Packers fans] just started throwing everything at you, push you off." 

Despite a rocky rookie year with a 4-12 record, Williams's performance, including 3,541 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and only six interceptions, offers a glimmer of hope for the Bears' future. His outspoken comments and competitive spirit have quickly endeared him to fans while lighting a new spark in the Bears-Packers saga. 

This year, as the Bears gear up under new head coach Ben Johnson, hopes are high for the offense to capitalize on Williams's talents. The Bears and Packers are scheduled for another showdown at Lambeau Field on December 7, with a rematch at Soldier Field just two weeks later. These games are not only crucial for the season but will also add another chapter to the ongoing drama fueled by Williams' latest remarks.
