As the Bears head toward their Black Friday showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles, Caleb Williams sounded like a quarterback not only preparing for an elite defense but one sharpening his understanding of who he must be to beat it. His respect for Vic Fangio was immediate and clear.
“(Fangio) limits explosive plays. He has a great D-line… You have to get more double teams on their D-line, which allows their (line)backers to be a little bit more free,” Williams said on Tuesday at Halas Hall (via the Chicago Bears media portal). The Eagles hide coverages well, he added, explaining: “They do well hiding coverages and hiding pressures and waiting until the ball is snapped to do a bunch of different rotations.”
But Williams insisted that Chicago isn’t interested in comparing schemes or storylines across opponents — even as the task this week mirrors the mental challenge Minnesota’s Brian Flores posed back in Week 1. “They’re different, but unique in their own ways,” he said of Fangio versus Flores.
What does help is having weapons he trusts, and Williams lit up when talking about tight end Colston Loveland: “He’s a safe target, he’s a reliable target. His body language when he’s running routes is very similar to a wide receiver. It speaks to me very easily. I know when he’s breaking down… he’s also tall, a large human, so that makes it a little bit easier to sometimes just toss it up to him.”

That’s who we are… Coach (Ben Johnson) does a good job of having the different screens and motions… to be able to help in protection, help in disguising what we’re doing, and kind of confuse the defense.”
For Williams, all of it — timing, footwork, rhythm — comes back to one theme he repeated often: the process. “I’m way more over on the process side,” he said. Winning matters, of course, but he emphasized that results follow from trust, detail, and reps. With every passing week, he sees it clicking: “The connection and relationship is growing… really excited for that.”
Caleb Williams: Belief Driving the Bears Into December
The belief inside the locker room, he said, is the most significant difference from a year ago. “It’s the belief… When you have belief in the coaches and the players, you can do a lot… that belief has been probably the main thing that has got us through these games.”
Some of his own self-corrections last week came down to mechanics. “My base got a little wide… my legs weren’t fully under me yet… then things started getting high on me,” Williams said. But even a stretch of 18 straight passes didn’t faze him: “It didn’t feel like it was 18… I don’t really mind too many of those (laughter).”

That theme — teammates stepping up for one another — came through when Williams reflected on C.J. Gardner-Johnson backing him up after last week’s sideline shove. “We fight for each other, we protect each other. Appreciate those boys for standing up for me.”
There’s a maturity in how Williams manages mistakes and adversity, too. “It’s something that the team needs… Accountability is a part of it… When I mess up, it doesn’t bother me as much as when we don’t go out there and score.” His priority is always to “control myself and be accountable… to lead these guys and go win games.”
Even as the stakes rise heading into December, Williams insists nothing changes about Chicago’s mindset. “We don’t put that type of pressure on any other game… We focus on us. We focus on our details… When you do that consistently, you’ll come out with the right outcome.”
But Williams knows when it is time to let his special athletic traits take over. “When you have special talents… you don’t always want to rely on that… but when it’s time to go make plays, time to go win the game, go win.”
And when quarterbacks around the league — like Jalen Hurts — offer guidance, it doesn’t go unnoticed. “There are not many like us… so just being able to understand the opportunity that we have… to maximize that,” Williams recalled Hurts telling him.
Friday in Philadelphia is the next of those opportunities. Another test. Another chance to lean on belief, process, and trust — and maybe show once again why the Bears feel they’ve found their future.
