Turns out they're the same old Bears after all. Just as they did to Mitch Trubisky and Justin Fields, the Bears launched Williams' career in a fog of dysfunction.

But while others may spread blame around a disappointing Bears team, the only finger the rookie quarterback is pointing is at himself. Williams came to the defense of his much-maligned offensive line ahead of the Bears final game of the season—which is coming up Sunday against the rival Green Bay Packers.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams knows he's taken a lot of sacks this season—67 to be exact—but he's not buying the idea that it's exclusively his offensive line's fault. Speaking with reporters, Williams called the notion that his O-line isn't protecting him "stupid," and said he deserves the blame for a lot of the hits he has taken.
