The Chicago Bears faced the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday afternoon, potentially one of the most significant matchups of the 2025-26 NFL season. The Bears demonstrated a superior performance compared to Philadelphia, ultimately securing the victory.

The Bears' performance on both offense and defense presented many positives, and considering the Eagles' defense is widely regarded as the league's top unit, Chicago's ability to execute was noteworthy.

This particular contest held increased significance for Caleb Williams. He explained his perspective quite plainly, noting a strong resemblance between himself and Jalen Hurts stemming from their shared skin tone, and observing that few others share such similarities with the two prominent quarterbacks.

"It was, there's not many like us you know, in our position, and who we are and you know, skin tone and all these things," Williams said, per the Chicago Sun Times. “There's not many like us. And so just being able to understand the opportunity that we have and I have to maximize that and put myself in the best opportunity possible. It was kind of that type of talk…

"He's kinda, pretty motivational."

Williams and Hurts appear to share a positive rapport away from the field, which is always encouraging to observe. Their shared history playing for Oklahoma at various times contributes to this connection.
It appears Williams holds considerable regard for Hurts, and appropriately so. He's a commendable individual, has achieved success at the elite level, and comes across as admirable.
