Historic Milestone: Caleb Williams Surpasses Bears Rookie QB Record

In an exciting turn of events for Chicago Bears fans, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has officially etched his name into the franchise's history books. Despite experiencing what many might describe as a challenging debut season, Williams' performance against the Minnesota Vikings was a silver lining of notable significance.

Entering Sunday's game against the Vikings, Williams was already among the Bears rookie quarterbacks who had thrown for over 2,000 yards in their debut season. By the game's end, he had surpassed Mitchell Trubisky's 2017 record of 2,193 passing yards to become the new rookie season passing leader for the Bears.

Williams's achievement is a beacon of hope for the Bears' future. Despite not throwing for a score since Oct. 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, his mark of 11 touchdowns is tied with Charlie O’Rourke’s rookie passing touchdown record.

Furthermore, Williams has thrived against the blitz, forcing teams to respect his ability. Given the challenges he's faced this season, this accomplishment highlights his ascent as a crucial player for the Bears.

Williams now has 2,356 passing yards on the season and certainly has a chance of surpassing 3,000 yards in his rookie campaign.
