Watch Amazing Clip Of Caleb Williams Forcing Eberflus To Not Be A Bitch

Caleb Williams is a competitor. That much is becoming clear the longer this season goes on. The Chicago Bears quarterback could've easily folded after the past month he's had. It started with the crushing defeat in Washington via the Hail Mary, wasting a gutty 4th quarter comeback. Then it was absorbing 15 sacks in two blowout losses to Arizona and New England. Some guys would've wilted. Not Williams. He rebounded on Sunday to deliver his best performance of the season, racking up over 300 total yards against Green Bay.

Yet what stood out the most was his demeanor. He seemed more decisive, confident, and in control. Never was that clearer than during the third quarter. Chicago had driven into Green Bay territory but bogged down at the 30-yard line. It was 4th and 2. Everybody in the stadium assumed head coach Matt Eberflus would kick the field goal. Williams wasn't having it. He began yelling at the sidelines, indicating he wanted to go for it. After multiple shouts, Eberflus gave the signal to go.

Williams hit Roschon Johnson for the first down.

Caleb Williams is seizing more and more control.

Normal rookies don't have a commanding voice on the field this early. Williams is making himself out to be an exception. He's so mature for his age (23), conducting himself like a 10-year veteran in press conferences. Now, as the Bears deal with a significant losing skid, he's taken it upon himself to drag the team out of its funk by any means necessary. If that means railing against his head coach's notorious conservativism, so be it. The heartbreaking part is the aggressive attitude worked all day. Chicago was 3-for-3 on fourth down and 9-of-16 on third down. Yet when the game was down to the wire, Eberflus still managed to let his risk-averse nature come out by not trying to run another play with 35 seconds left to get the field goal attempt closer.

The man is a coward. There is no getting around it. He is so deathly afraid of turnovers and other mistakes that he inevitably instills that same fear in his players. This, of course, manifests those things into happening. Caleb Williams did everything he could to show his coach it's okay, even beneficial to stay on the attack. Eberflus didn't want to listen.
