Packers Fans Catch Brutal Stray From Bears QB Caleb Williams

“Probably Green Bay” Williams said. “I mean, they suck.”

“After we won at Lambeau [Field] — 1-0 at Lambeau — we tried to do the Lambeau Leap, tried to jump into the crowd where our fans were,” Williams continued. “[Packers fans] just started throwing everything at you, pushing you off. The Lambeau Leap, it’s a real leap. It’s not a little baby jump. You actually have to high jump, basically. And they’re pushing you, pushing your face.”

Packers Have Dominated Bears Over Past 6 Seasons

 Chicago’s win against Green Bay came in Week 18 and was certainly among the highlights, if not the top highlight, of a tumultuous rookie campaign for Williams.

The Bears started off the year 4-2, but a 10-game losing streak followed that saw the front office fire the quarterback’s offensive coordinator mid-season and his head coach a few weeks later.

Chicago lost to Green Bay at Soldier Field by a single point on November 17. That defeat was followed by consecutive three-point losses to the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions. All told, five of the Bears’ 10 straight losses came by a field goal or less, and often in heartbreaking fashion.

The team finally broke through in Week 18 against the Packers, winning that contest by two points on a last-second field goal from 51 yards out that broke the losing streak and slotted Chicago in at a 5-12 record. All three of the Bears’ NFC North Division opponents went on to make the playoffs following the campaign, while Chicago watched the postseason on television from home.

The Bears’ victory at Lambeau Field on January 5 also marked the first time the team had defeated the Packers since December 2018, with Green Bay claiming 11 consecutive victories across that six-year span.

Packers Have Legitimate Super Bowl Aspirations This Season

As annoying or offensive as Williams’ recent comments might be to the Packers and their fans, until Chicago proves itself any kind of real threat, Green Bay has more important things with which to concern itself.

The Packers have made the playoffs in both years of the Jordan Love era, but have yet to play beyond the divisional round during that span.

This offseason is about preparing the roster to get over the hump and truly contend in the NFC. Among the priorities is getting a contract extension done for elite offensive tackle Zach Tom, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025.

The franchise must also consider adding to the secondary, which is weak at cornerback after cutting ties with two-time Pro Bowler Jaire Alexander in the interest of saving $17 million against the salary cap.

Green Bay could also use some extra juice rushing the passer, which could be a position group to which the Packers add before the summer is out.
