After a rough start to the season, Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has been playing much better football lately. And he’s as good as it gets for a rookie quarterback at avoiding interceptions.
Williams has not thrown an interception in his last 193 pass attempts, and he 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 straight attempts without an interception. So if Williams throws 19 passes against the Lions today without being picked, he will break Murray’s record.
The bad news for the Bears is that they find ways to lose despite Williams’ improvement. They have lost five games in a row and the last game they won, on Oct. 13 against the Jaguars, was also the last time Williams threw an interception.
