Caleb Williams, the Chicago Bears quarterback, has been on a hot streak this season, and his ability to perform under pressure is starting to pay off. Unlike some of his predecessors, such as Jay Cutler, who seemed to consistently get handed bad breaks, Williams appears to have an uncanny knack for getting lucky.
In Sunday's game against the Bengals, Williams made a crucial play with just seconds left on the clock, connecting with tight end Colston Loveland for a touchdown that gave the Bears a 41-27 lead. The play was set up by a series of fortunate events, including a careless foul by Bengals safety Jordan Battle and a missed tackle by Geno Stone.
Williams' ability to make plays like this is what's making him look like the real deal in Chicago. While he still has some work to do on his quarterback instincts, his focus and calm demeanor under pressure are traits that many see as essential for success at this level.
The Bears' win over the Bengals was a testament to Williams' growing confidence and ability to perform when it matters most. It's clear that the team is building around him, and with Ben Johnson calling plays, they're starting to gel as a unit.
The Bengals' defense has been one of the worst in the league this season, but even against such a struggling unit, Johnson was able to find ways to exploit them. His aggressive approach, including a series of trick plays like a double-pass and an end-around, seems to be paying off.
As for the rest of the NFL, the Bears are currently sitting at 5-3, just behind the Packers and Lions in the NFC North. With every game, they're inching closer to contention.
The real question now is whether Williams' luck will continue or if he'll start to struggle like some of his predecessors. Only time will tell, but for now, it's hard to argue against the notion that he has "it."

The dude's got a gift for making plays when it matters most, and I'm loving how he's leading the Bears to those wins. It's crazy to think about all the fortunate breaks he gets - like that foul by Jordan Battle and missed tackle by Geno Stone. If we're gonna keep calling him out for getting lucky, then let's also give credit where credit is due: Williams' got some magic in his arm! 
The Bengals defense might be struggling, but Ben Johnson's finding ways to exploit them. That double-pass and end-around play was pure genius! 
As long as the Bears keep playing well, they're definitely a team to watch out for in the NFC North.
. Caleb Williams may have gotten some breaks, but thats not how you become a great QB. its about making plays when its crunch time, and from what ive seen so far, hes still inconsistent. the bengals defense was getting destroyed anyway, so its hard to say if he really had to make that big play. plus, ben johnson's trick plays are just trying to mask his own coaching issues 
. im not saying williams is gonna tank or anything, but lets see it for a whole season before i start proclaiming him the next great QB 
.
, so it's no surprise they got taken down.
. I think the Packers and Lions are gonna have to step their game up if they wanna take down these guys 
. The way Ben Johnson calls plays for him seems to be paying off too 
️. But its still early days and only time will tell if his luck carries over or if he'll start to struggle like some other QBs in the past 
. I'm just excited to see how it all unfolds from here! 
and I'm loving every minute of it! His ability to stay calm under pressure and make clutch plays like that touchdown pass in the last seconds of the game is truly amazing. It's like he's got a superpower or something 
i mean i'm not hatin or anythin, but like what r the odds of all those things happenin 2 happen in a single game? it's crazy! 
and yeah ben johnson's callin plays and they're lookin good i guess that's wut u get when ur QB's got that "it" factor 
anyway lol cant wait 2 c if this luck thing holds out or if he starts 2 struggle like jay cutler 
(just kidding, kinda). but seriously, it's clear that ben johnson's play-calling is helping him stay in the zone. i love how they're building around him, too - it's all about finding what works best with his strengths 
, the Bears are definitely a contender now 
come on, that's a bit simplistic. I think what they mean is that he's got a good mix of skills and instincts, plus some good fortune when it counts. But let's be real, the Bengals' defense was pretty trash this season 
and the Bears are starting to look like a legit contender. I mean, Caleb Williams is no doubt talented, but you can't deny the role of luck in his success. It's funny how it all falls into place for him at times. But hey, as long as he keeps making those clutch plays, who cares if it's just dumb luck? 
. And let's be real, the Bengals' defense is a joke this season. They're not even close to being the worst team. Williams might get some lucky wins, but when they hit the tough part of their schedule, will he still be able to deliver? 
I don't think so 
.
, making impossible plays happen with ease 
!
i swear, every month is like, "oh, just one more month" and then suddenly it's time for another oil change 
anyways, back to calvin williams... i mean, if he keeps playing like that, we might have a real shot at the playoffs this year! 
i mean don't get me wrong, the guy's got skills, but is it really all that special? feels like he's just benefiting from the team building around him and ben johnson calling plays 
The way he just calmly connected with Colston Loveland in such a tight spot... it's like he's got ice in his veins 
. And Ben Johnson's play-calling is on point - that double-pass trick play had me hyped 
! What I'm really curious about is how this team will do when the Bengals' defense gets back to form, though 
. Can they keep up the momentum? Only time will tell 
it's clear that chicago bears are building around him and he's starting to shine. but i'm also curious about how long this luck can last... will it translate to the rest of the season or will we see some regression?
