Caleb Williams enters his third NFL season and second year in Ben Johnson’s system after setting the Bears’ single-season passing record with 3,942 yards in 2025, though he ranked 32nd league-wide in completion percentage. The Bears are prioritizing precision and quicker decisions to push toward a 65-70% rate, which could boost efficiency and volume if attempts hold near 31-33 per game. Supporting factors include a deep receiving group led by Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, a strong rushing attack that opened play-action opportunities last year, and continuity at most offensive line spots despite center and left tackle turnover. Week 1 produced 269 yards and two touchdowns against Carolina, but Chicago’s run-heavy approach and tough early schedule, starting with Minnesota in Week 2, will shape whether Williams sustains or exceeds prior output amid variable game scripts.
