The breakthrough everyone has been waiting for from Bears quarterback Caleb Williams might be happening.

This is the best he has played, doing so against tough opponents in the thick of a playoff race, and it’s possible he has turned a corner. If that proves true, it would vastly change the Bears’ playoff prospects after they finish the regular season Sunday against the Lions.

Williams averaged 274 yards passing, threw six touchdown passes and no interceptions and compiled a 103.1 passer rating over his last three games — all against solid teams with significant stakes.
