As has become a well-known statistical hallmark of the Chicago Bears’ longstanding struggles at the quarterback position, no QB for the franchise in its 106 seasons has ever reached 4,000 passing yards in a season or 30 touchdown passes.
2024 NFL Draft No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams has made it clear previously he has designs on changing all that. Now, with six games left in the 2025 regular season, just how likely is it that Williams will make history this year?
Ahead of the Bears’ Week 13 Black Friday showdown at 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 so, he needs to average 238.7 per game over the final six games.
As for hitting 30 TDs, he needs 14 more and to average 2.3 per game.
Unfortunately for Williams and the Bears’ history books, he’s not currently on pace for either mark as he’s averaging 233.5 yards per contest and 1.45 TDs a game.
Of course, it’s not impossible and it’s still well within reach for Williams to become the Bears’ single-season standard bearer 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 and the Bears’ remaining games and the passing defenses he’ll face.
