Stunning Statistics of Caleb Williams, University of Oklahoma Quarterback, Deal a Devastating Blow to Chicago's Hopes

In the opening game of the 2025 NFL season, Chicago Bears' quarterback Caleb Williams showcased both his strengths and weaknesses against the Minnesota Vikings.

Williams began the game with a perfect 10-for-10 on his passes, setting a promising tone for the Bears' offense. However, his performance took a turn as he added 5 more overthrows to his total, a statistic that has become a concern for the team.

According to TruMedia, over the last year and 1 week, Williams leads the NFL in "overthrown" balls, a troubling trend that was evident throughout the game against the Vikings. One of the most notable mistakes was a missed easy throw to DJ Moore on a fade route, which cost the Bears precious time.

Despite some incredible passes, such as a running strike to Rome Odunze early in the game, Williams' struggles with accuracy were evident. His inability to consistently hit the mark remains a concern, and he needs to address this issue if he wants to be great in the NFL.

The Bears' offense showed signs of surging in the game against the Vikings, but Williams' erratic performance dampened the team's spirits. The game was a reminder of the same problems that plagued Williams during his rookie season.

James Foster (@NoFlagsFilm) posted a tweet containing a picture related to the article on September 9, 2025, capturing the frustration felt by fans and coach Ben Johnson. The next closest player in the same time period for overthrown balls is Bo Nix, who has 37, 17 less than Williams.

As the Bears move forward in the season, Williams will need to improve his accuracy if the team hopes to make a playoff run. The missed opportunities against the Vikings serve as a reminder of the importance of consistency in the NFL.
