Caleb Williams is setting Bears records amidst frustrating season for Chicago

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is rewriting the team’s rookie record book. Williams threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears’ 30-27 overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings, putting his season total to 2,356 yards, surpassing Mitch Trubisky for the most passing yards in a single season for a rookie.

Williams may not be done, either. He has a chance to catch Erik Kramer’s franchise record of 3,838 passing yards set way back in 1995.

Caleb Williams is on pace to throw for 3,641 yards this season, which would be 197 yards shy of the #Bears” single-season record, set by Erik Kramer in 1995.

If Williams catches Kramer, there’s a good chance he’ll set another mark along the way. The Chicago Bears” record for 300-yard passing games in a season is four, Williams already has three. He has six games to go.

There’s a really good chance he’ll break the Bears’ rookie touchdown passes record, too, he needs one more to sit atop the record book.

Lost in all of this is that Caleb Williams has now broken the Bears’ rookie passing yards record and tied the Bears’ rookie touchdown record through 11 games.

Puts him on pace for 17 touchdowns and over 3,600 yards this year.
