Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams went into his rookie season making big promises about what he'd do for the franchise in his first season. While he largely fell short of expectations, he did beat the Green Bay Packers and he's now fueling the rivalry with a shot at the fan base.
During an appearance at Fanatics Fest, Williams said that Packers fans 'suck' and pointed to what happened at Lambeau Field after the Bears beat Green Bay.
'Probably Green Bay. I mean, they suck. After the game, after we won at Lambeau — 1-0 at Lambeau — we tried to do the Lambeau Leap, tried to jump into the crowd where our fans were. [Packers fans] just started throwing everything at you, push you off. The Lambeau Leap, it's a real leap. It's not a little baby jump, you actually have to high jump, basically. And they're pushing you, pushing your face.'

In the regular-season finale, the Bears stunned Green Bay at Lambeau Field with a 24-22 victory. Trailing 22-21 with 54 seconds left, Williams led Chicago on a six-play, 47-yard drive to set up Cairo Santos for the game-winning field goal as time expired.
However, we're not quite sure what kind of reception Williams was expecting. The quarterback's mom wasn't in that section, so none of the fans were going to give him a hug. It's also worth noting that Packers fans are often cited as one of the friendliest among NFL fan bases.

Needless to say, Lambeau Field will give Williams quite the response when he returns on December 7 to face the Packers. If Chicago isn't in the playoff mix in Week 14, Packers fans might even respond with 'the Bears still suck' chants.
