In just 17 games as the Chicago Bears’ quarterback, Caleb Williams has already formed a strong opinion about Packers fans, sparked by his experiences at Lambeau Field. Speaking at this year’s Fanatics Fest, the 2024 No. 1 overall pick expressed open frustration, stating plainly, “They suck.”

Williams recounted how after the Bears’ victory at Lambeau Field—a landmark 1-0 win—he and his teammates attempted the traditional Lambeau Leap, only to face hostility.

“I mean, they suck. After the game, after we won at Lambeau — 1-0 at Lambeau — we tried to do the Lambeau Leap, tried to jump into the crowd where our fans were. [Packers fans] just started throwing everything at you, push 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,”

he said.

Bears End Struggle at Lambeau Field and Look to Build Momentum

Williams led the Bears to a narrow two-point victory in the “Frozen Tundra,” snapping Chicago’s 10-game losing streak against Green Bay. This win marked a positive conclusion to an otherwise disappointing season for the Bears. Despite the team‘s struggles, Williams posted solid stats with 3,541 yards, 20 touchdowns, and only six interceptions.

With new offensive coordinator Ben Johnson joining the team, Chicago aims to capitalize on their progress, hoping Williams and the Bears can improve next season. The Bears will return to Lambeau in Week 14, where Williams, a former Heisman Trophy winner, will seek to maintain his undefeated record against Green Bay.

Future Challenges and Anticipation for the December 20 Rematch

Williams’ blunt remarks about Packers fans may intensify the rivalry, triggering sharper reactions when the Bears visit Titletown on December 20. The passionate atmosphere at Lambeau Field combined with Williams’ outspoken attitude sets the stage for a tense rematch that both teams and fans across Wisconsin and Illinois await eagerly.
