Windy City Gridiron
In the locker room after the Chicago Bears beat the New York Giants, head coach Ben Johnson introduced one of his game ball recipients by saying, “This next guy, man, he’s got ice in his veins. And if you don’t believe it now, you just wait, man. The best is yet to come. 18! Here we go!”
The locker room erupted as Johnson gave the game ball to quarterback Caleb Williams, who had just led the Bears to their fourth come-from-behind win of the season.
Which made the NFL’s choice of Williams as their mic’d up Bear this week an opportune one.
The team just released a 7-minute, 56-second video of Caleb during Sunday’s game, and, towards the end, when Williams came to the sideline after his go-ahead touchdown run, one of his teammates could be heard calling him “Iceman.”
On Monday, rookie wideout Luther Burdden III called Williams “Iceman” on an Instagram post.
Also, Iceman has been shared all over social media by Bears fans, who have embraced the nickname. I really hope it sticks, because that is one cool moniker for a franchise quarterback.
My guys over at BreakingT, who are always quick to provide viral moments for fans with their apparel, have already dropped some Iceman merchandise featuring Caleb’s winning touchdown run aganst the Giants.
