The Bears head into another chapter of the NFL’s oldest rivalry this week, and Caleb Williams isn’t shying away from what this matchup means — not just to the city, but to him personally.

Last year’s win at Lambeau Field was one of the early markers that this Bears team was changing, and Williams made clear on Tuesday that the memory still fuels him.

“It was awesome,” Williams said of last season’s Week 18 victory. “Obviously, you go through such a tough time and weird time and all, everybody knows what happened last year, and you go and face a rival. This rivalry, that’s been going on for a hundred years or so. So, being able to go out there and defeat them and things like that, it was important for us as players and the guys that are still here, and then, for the future for us.

‘We want to keep that going. Obviously, you want win every single game that you play. But, this week, since this is the only week that we’ve got, you definitely want to go out there and keep proving ourselves.”
