The Bears are the only NFL team to never have a quarterback throw for 4,000 yards in a season.
Sunday, that can change.
Caleb Williams needs 270 yards against the Lions on Sunday to become the first Bears quarterback to reach the mark.
“I think I was brought here for those types of things and those types of moments — things that haven’t been done here,” Williams said Wednesday.
Williams has thrown for 3,730 yards this year, meaning he needs 109 yards Sunday to set the Bears’ single-season record. Erik Kramer threw for 3,838 yards in 1995.
Coach Ben Johnson said reaching 4,000 yards is a “tertiary” notion, at best. Williams pointed to team success as more important than any statistical plateaus he could reach.
“If it were to happen that’d be great,” Johnson said. But “he would agree with me when I say that our No. 1 objective is to win this ballgame. Whatever that takes, that’s our goal. We’ll see where it’s at, at the end of the year.”
Johnson is intent on the Bears going all-in to beat the Lions regardless of what it means in the standings.
