Bears quarterback Caleb Williams threw four interceptions Sunday night against the Buccaneers, but he didn’t hesitate to keep throwing down the field late in the game when he led the Bears into range for the game-winning field goal.
Williams hit a 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 win, and Williams said he had no hesitation in pulling the trigger despite his four interceptions. And he said he wouldn’t have hesitated to pull the trigger even if Loveland hadn’t opened.
“I’m going to throw until I can’t throw anymore. That’s how I live,” Williams said. “I work my tail off to be in this position. I’m never going to throw the ball. I can throw 100 tackles a game, if it comes down to it, I’m going to throw that pass I threw to Colston, or if it’s a tighter window, I’m going to tear it up there. That’s how I grew up, I don’t have much. That’s not my identity, that’s not who I am, I’m going to keep tearing it up.
Williams admitted he has to find ways to improve, especially when the defense is hitting him, but after the game he didn’t seem particularly concerned about the four interceptions. He will continue to throw for sure, no matter how many interceptions he gets.
