Bears star Caleb Williams’ defiant message after 4 interception near-disaster

The Chicago Bears came out on top 27-24 in their Week 9 clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But quarterback Caleb Williams had a game to forget.

He completed 22-of-37 passes for 279 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions. The turnovers are uncharacteristic of the quarterback and nearly doomed the Bears.

Through his first two seasons in the league, Williams threw no more than seven interceptions. In just one game, he already reached half of that total. The quarterback’s biggest priority remains winning, which he did. But he’ll surely be studying the Sunday Night Football tape closely.

Whatever he sees won’t completely change Williams’ game though. The quarterback will always remain true to who he is as a player.

Bears’ Caleb Williams won’t stop passing 

Williams didn’t shy away from the interception criticism. He gave clear reasoning for what went wrong on each play. But no matter the amount of picks, Williams is going to keep throwing the ball. Being a gunslinger is in his blood, via the quarterback’s postgame press conference.

“You go back at look at it, ‘What could I have done?’ Just tried to be the big eraser,” Williams said. “That’s what I’ve been. That’s what I will be, keep being the big eraser. Today I wasn’t.”

“I’m going to throw and tow until I can’t throw anymore,” he continued. “That’s how I live. I work my tail off to be in this position. I’ll never not throw the ball. I can throw 100 picks in a game, if it comes down to it I’m going to throw that pass. That’s how I grew up, that’s what I am. I don’t get gun shy, that’s not me, that’s not my identity. I’m going to keep ripping it.”

Despite his errors against the Bucs, Williams has still completed 68.7 percent of his passes for 1,546 yards and eight touchdowns. He has the Bears at 7-2 entering the bye week. His Week 9 performance won’t be making any highlight tapes. But it also won’t drastically change what makes Williams special.
