Caleb Williams is already setting the bar high
Williams is making waves before even taking a single snap in a regular-season game. Meanwhile, the Bears also managed to secure victories in all of their preseason matchups. They crushed the Texans 21-17, the Bills 33-6, the Bengals 27-3, and most recently, the Chiefs 34-21, in the preseason.
