Caleb Williams went viral for his player intro during the Chicago Bears’ ‘Sunday Night Football’ showdown against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Bears QB is having himself a game, with the teams duking it out in one of the most entertaining tilts from the Week 17 slate.
Sunday’s game has certainly lived up to the billing. Scores were tied at 35 apiece early in the fourth quarter, with both teams sharing 11-4 records and eager to improve their conference seeding.
Williams has already won where mama’s boys are concerned. The Bears quarterback used his intro to show his mother some love instead of his college.
“Caleb Williams, shout out mom,” he said on the NBC Sports broadcast.

Williams is very close to his mother. Cameras caught him crying in her arms after a USC loss in 2023, and he has consistently praised her for her unwavering support.
Shout out mom!
