Caleb Williams eyes 4,000 yards passing as Bears try to clinch NFC’s No. 2 seed when they host Lions
January 2, 2026
Caleb Williams has a chance to become Chicago’s first 4,000-yard passer and the NFC North champion Bears can lock up the No. 2 seed in the NFC when they close the regular season against the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field on Sunday. The Bears are guaranteed the second or third seed. A win over the Lions or a loss by Philadelphia against Washington would give Chicago the second spot. The Bears would host Green Bay in a wild-card game and have home-field advantage in the divisional round if they beat the Packers. With 3,730 yards, he has a chance to get to 4,000. Detroit has lost three straight.
