The Bears have never had a 4,000-yard passer. Caleb Williams has an outside shot at getting there.<\/p>\n
Williams, in his second season, has 3,400 with two games to play. That puts him 600 yards from 4,000.<\/p>\n
His single-game high through 15 games this season in 298. He had four 300-yard games as a rookie in 2024, with a high of 363 in his third career start.<\/p>\n
The franchise single-season record was set 30 years ago, by Erik Kramer. In 1995, he threw for 3,838 yards.<\/p>\n
Williams\u2019s 3,400-yard season ranks sixth on the Bears\u2019 all-time list. Last year\u2019s 3,541 yards from Williams ranks fifth.<\/p>\n
The second, third, and fourth spots all belong to Jay Cutler, with 3,812 in 2014, 3,666 in 2009, and 3,659 in 2015.<\/p>\n
With the NFC North title clinched on Saturday night, thanks to Green Bay\u2019s loss to the Ravens, the bigger prize for Williams and the Bears would be the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Among other things, they need to beat the 49ers on Sunday night in Santa Clara. The Bears have previously secured the No. 1 seed three times: 1985, 1988, and 2006.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bears have never had a 4,000-yard passer.
