The Chicago Bears are heading into Sunday’s home playoff battle against the L.A. Rams with a level of confidence not seen since Mike Ditka roamed the sidelines. The source? The unflappable poise of second-year rising star Caleb Williams.
Speaking on "The Schultz Report" with Jordan Schultz, Bears linebacker Tremaine Edmunds didn't hold back when describing his quarterback’s demeanor following Chicago’s historic Wild Card comeback against the Packers. "That's why his nickname is Iceman," Edmunds told Schultz. "That guy don't flinch!".

Williams earned that "Iceman" moniker by shredding Green Bay through the air for 361-yards, a Bears playoff franchise record. Trailing 27-3, he fueled a historic 25-point explosion in the fourth quarter. Only in year-two, Williams has already mastered the art of the comeback, leading the Bears to seven fourth-quarter come from behind victories in the 2025 season.
As the Rams travel to a frigid Soldier Field this Sunday, they face a QB who is thriving under pressure. While Matthew Stafford brings a Super Bowl winning pedigree, Williams has proven elite at extending plays.
The Rams' defense has struggled recently, allowing a 6.1% touchdown rate over their last seven games. With a league-high turnover differential of +22 and the "Iceman" under center, the Bears are primed to freeze the Rams' season in its tracks and punch their ticket to the NFC Championship.
