Who runs the NFC North? Bears need QB Caleb Williams to take control vs. Packers

The pressure on quarterback Caleb Williams has been enormous after going first overall in his draft class last year and being heralded as one of highest-graded prospects at his position in recent history.

The weight was even heavier when he landed with the Bears. They’ve never had a 4,000-yard passer, their first-round picks have flopped for decades and, most importantly at the moment, they’ve lacked the firepower to stop the Packers’ long-running dominance at the position.

From Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers and now Jordan Love, the Packers have thrived on great quarterback play since 1992.
