Bears quarterback Caleb Williams threw four interceptions Sunday night against the Buccaneers, but he didn’t hesitate to continue throwing downfield late in the game, when he took the Bears into range for the game-winning field goal.
Williams hit a wide-open Colston Loveland for a 38-yard gain in the final minute of the game to set up a field goal as time expired in the Bears’ 27-24 victory, and Williams said there was no hesitation in pulling the trigger, despite his four interceptions. And he said he would have had no hesitation in pulling the trigger even if Loveland hadn’t been wide open.
“I’m going to throw until I can’t throw anymore. That’s how I live,” Williams said. “I work hard to be in this position. I’m never going to not throw the ball. I could throw 100 picks in one game, if it comes down to it, I’ll throw that pass that I threw to Colston, or if it’s a tighter window, I’ll rip it in there. That’s how I grew up, that’s who I am. I’m not afraid of guns. That’s not me. That’s not my identity, not who I am I’m going to keep tearing it apart, keep tearing it apart.
Williams admitted he had to find ways to improve, especially when the defense blitzed him, but after the game he didn’t seem particularly concerned about the four interceptions. He will continue to throw with confidence no matter how many interceptions there are.
