With nothing to preview this week, I’ve had more time to digest Sunday’s Bears victory over the Bucs, the good and the bad, than we typically do around here. And I’ve thought a lot about Caleb Williams’ four interceptions and what they actually mean, if anything at all.
The four-interception game was a career-worst in that department (and I’m talking all the way back through Williams’ high school days when I say career). But he made the throws he needed to when it was winning time, and the Bears won. Williams took the stance after the game that shooters shoot, and he’s a shooter and will continue to be, ugly box score be damned. I wholeheartedly agree with that. No NFL quarterback who has achieved the highest levels of success has played timidly. Wiliams, hasn’t, shouldn’t, and almost certainly won’t. Still, some things can be learned from Sunday night. To me, the interceptions can be classified a few different ways. The first was aggressive, but encroached on reckless. Williams had a quarter of a lifetime to that point, and riding that confidence, he tried to thread a bullet to Rome Odunze between two Bucs defenders. Given what we’ve seen from Williams, and his ability to make those throws that others couldn’t dream of, I have no issue with confidence toeing the line of recklessness from time to time, especially when you’re up multiple scores and looking to put away a good defense early in primetime.

Mandatory Credit: Matt Marton-Imagn Images The next two interceptions were simply poor decision-making. Those are the ones you can’t live with, and thankfully, Williams’ track record indicates we won’t have to. He almost always makes the right decision, and hardly puts the football in legitimate harm’s way. Those are the two picks that mean the least in all of this, simply because I believe they’re so out of character; the likelihood of seeing them again is slimmer than the means to the first and fourth interceptions. So, about that fourth interception. It was a tipped ball on a tight-window throw. Closer to the first interception in intention, but less of a predisposed risk, coupled with a fluky, out-of-your-control tip and the second defender in the area to make a catch on the football. In the end, I think we’re more likely to see the type of interceptions we saw on Nos. 1 and 4 on Sunday again, rather than 2 or 3, which means the process overall will be pretty sound, and I can live with that. And then there is, in my opinion, the final relevant detail in the discussion, and arguably more concerning than the interceptions themselves: the success that Tampa had sending constant pressure through the A-gap.

— Bleacher Nation Bears (@BN_Bears) November 12, 2026 I suppose it wouldn’t be a bye week, or any week for the last half-decade, without some Bears stadium news. This time, it’s the developers of the Michael Reese site entering the fray. According to a Sun-Times report, the group made a pitch that includes $10 billion to keep the Bears in Chicago proper. This isn’t the first time the group has tried to pitch the former hospital site to the Bears. Still, the latest pitch includes additional land acquisitions to address the concerns the Bears had the first time around, and a sweetener: the group would purchase the Arlington Park property from the Bears.
