#Bears QB Caleb Williams on whether he takes any individual joy in getting to the playoffs:
“Yeah… I wasn’t the biggest, I wasn’t the strongest, I wasn’t the tallest, I wasn’t the fastest. I get drafted here, told that I’m not a special player, told that I’m not a good fit here, told that Coach and I won’t work, told I can’t win here. So I know that’s going to keep going on, but I do take a little satisfaction being able to help this team, help this organization, and be a part of getting to the playoffs. My goal isn’t just to get to the playoffs — my goal is to win and win big.”

The Chicago Bears recognize Indiana’s pro-business climate, and I am ready to work with them to build a new stadium in Northwest Indiana.
This move would deliver a major economic boost, create jobs, and bring another premier NFL franchise to the Hoosier State. Let’s get it done.
Everyone is jumping in on this so here's my two cents.
I don't think Warren has handled the stadium project well publicly, but he's in a literal impossible situation.
Pritzker wants to run for President in 2028, you don't get that nomination in the Democratic Party giving tax dollars to billionaires. And billionaires should 100% build their own stadiums.
Problem is the McCaskeys are billionaires due to their one massive asset and they simply don't have anywhere near the cash to fund this.
They could sell 10% of the team to private equity and still not have the funds.
Its an impossible job for Warren and at this point I really don't even see where the funds are going to come from.
I’m exhausted w/ the back-&-forth about the #Bears stadium. This team is playing meaningful football, close to clinching a playoff spot, & about to play in one of the biggest games in franchise history. That’s all we should be talking about. The two sides need to figure this out & please leave the fans out of it.
