As has become a well-known statistical feature of the Chicago Bears’ long-running struggles at the quarterback position, no pre-draft QB in its 106 seasons has ever topped 4,000 carries in a season or 30 touchdown passes.
2024 NFL Draft No. Now, with six games left in the 2025 regular season, how likely is Williams to make history this year?
Before the Bears’ Week 13 Black Friday showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles, Williams has thrown for 2,568 yards and 16 touchdowns. So, Williams now needs 1,432 passing yards to reach 4,000. To do that, he needs to average 238.7 per game over the last six games.
As for hitting 30 TDs, he needs 14 more and averages 2.3 per game.
So unfortunately for Williams and the Bears history books, he is not currently on pace for either target as he is averaging 233.5 yards per contest and 1.45 TDs per game.
Of course, it’s not impossible, and it’s still well within reach for Williams to become the Bears’ single-season leader in passing yards and TDs, marks still held by Erik Kramer from 1995, when he threw for 3,838 yards and 29 TDs.
Here’s a breakdown of Williams’ remaining games against the Bears and the pass defense he’ll face.
