Caleb Williams Silences Critics on TNF… Almost: A Masterclass in Proving the Haters Right

Dec 27

Everyone doubted Caleb Williams heading into his TNF showdown against the Seahawks. Critics lined up, eager to tear him down and find reasons to laugh at his expense.

As the saying goes, "If you don’t have haters, you’re not important enough to hate."

The doubters labeled him a bust. They called him overconfident, arrogant, and incapable of performing at the next level. They dismissed a 12-year career of excellence that preceded him and insisted that he was doomed to fail.

The narrative? Chicago was about to ruin its 3rd 1st-round QB in seven years.

The noise didn’t stop... until Caleb stepped onto the field tonight. On TNF, he silenced the critics by dropping a 122-piece on the Seahawks. With only 28 passing attempts, he averaged nearly 4.5 yards per completion, threw only one interception (nearly zero), and came just shy of a staggering 4 Tuddies (he ended up with 0).

Well guess what? No one’s laughing now.

Well... except the haters. Because, they nailed it. Great call, haters.
