The Chicago Bears put up a bunch of eye-opening numbers in their Week 9 win against the Cincinnati Bengals, but none stood out to me like one that was tied to quarterback Caleb Williams.
90.8: That is the overall grade Pro Football Focus gave Caleb Williams for his Week 9 performance in the Bears’ win gainst the Bengals.
It is the highest single-game grade Williams has earned from PFF this season. Put a star on that one and hang it on the fridge, folks.
The only number that is as impressive as that one is the 83.9 PFF grade Caleb Williams posted when under pressure. No quarterback had a higher mark than that one in Week 9. This is what PFF’s Nick Akridge had to say as he provided context to Caleb’s performance in Cincinnati:
Williams and the Bears were part of one of the best games of the 2025 season, and it was Williams who came out on top with one of his finest performances to date. The second-year quarterback earned a 90.8 PFF overall grade — the highest single-game mark of his career — thanks in large part to his poise under pressure.
Williams was pressured on nearly 44% of his dropbacks yet still threw for 107 yards, produced one big-time throw and posted a 75.0% adjusted completion percentage in those situations.

Do I realize that he did it against an awful Bengals defense? Yes. But he did what he was supposed to do in Cincy. Had he not done so, then I’d likely find myself to be concerned. Instead, I am encouraged that Caleb Williams took care of business in a game where he was expected to do so.

— Tej Seth (@tejfbanalytics) November 5, 2025That last one is a doozy. I’m not sure there is a better singular stat that encompasses the difference between this version of Caleb Williams and the one we saw during his rookie season. Williams going from being the most-sacked quarterbacks in the league to one of the best at avoiding sacks is impressive as heck.
One last Caleb Williams stat package (h/t Pro Football Reference):
Trailing with less than 4 minutes: 9/17, 196 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT, 133.5 passer rating Trailing with less than 2 minutes: 5/11, 127 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, 118.4 rating Fourth quarter: 35/58, 501 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT, 98.4 rating Second half: 67/111, 899 yards, 6 TD, 1 INT, 100.4 ratingTo give those numbers some much-needed perspective, here are last year’s stats in the same categories:
Trailing with less than 4 minutes: 33/59, 379 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT, 79.7 rating Trailing with less than 2 minutes: 519/36, 227 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 70.0 rating Fourth quarter: 116/180, 1,108 yards, 10 TD, 2 INT, 95.3 rating Second half: 192/304, 1,868 yards, 14 TD, 4 INT, 90.2 ratingMORE CALEB WILLIAMS: Watch His First TD Catch | Are Ben & Caleb on the Same Page?
Given this batch of numbers, you can see where Caleb Williams has made some improvements. We still have nine games to go, which has me looking forward to seeing how QB1 improves upon the foundation he has set for himself this year.
