The Chicago Bears are one of the more complicated teams in the NFL. After a massive 25-24 win against the Washington Commanders on Monday night, Bears fans are defending their young quarterback.

It's challenging to determine whether the Bears will be a strong team in 2025. Bringing in Ben Johnson was the right decision, but cultures take time to change. After an 0-2 start with losses to the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions, the Bears bounced back and defeated the Dallas Cowboys, Las Vegas Raiders, and Commanders to improve to 3-2. They will take on the New Orleans Saints next week for a chance to go 4-2.

Caleb Williams threw for 252 yards and one touchdown. It was not an eye-opening performance, but he did not turn the ball over. He rushed for a TD and connected with eight different receivers in the win.

During the game, Monday Night Football color analyst Troy Aikman seemed to be criticizing Williams quite often. Bears fans did not appreciate it.

The memes were funny to see.

 

 

Caleb Williams admitted that he had no idea who Jake Moody was when the Bears signed the kicker. Moody ended up winning the game for the Bears with his 4th made field goal as time expired.
