After a rough start to the season, Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has played much better football recently. And he’s been as good as can be for a rookie quarterback in avoiding interceptions.
Williams hasn’t thrown an interception in his last 193 pass attempts, and is closing in on Kyler Murray’s NFL rookie record for most consecutive passes without an interception.
As the first overall pick in 2019, Murray threw 211 consecutive attempts without an interception. So if Williams throws 19 passes today against the Lions without being picked, he will break Murray’s record.
The bad news for the Bears is that they are finding ways to lose despite Williams’ improvement. They have lost five straight games and the last game they won, on Oct. 13 against the Jaguars, was also the last time Williams threw an interception.
