Bears' Caleb Williams takes savage shot at Packers fans — ‘They suck'
Caleb Williams will not stop reminding fans that he is already 1-0 against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Although only one year into his professional career, the Chicago Bears quarterback had already developed a distaste for his divisional rival's fan base.
Williams was one of several athletes to appear at the 2025 Fanatics Fest in New York. The 23-year-old quarterback recalled hating how Packers fans acted after the Bears' Week 18 win in Green Bay during his Q&A segment.
'Green Bay, they suck,' Williams said, via Ryan Garcia of Empire Sports Media. 'I'm 1-0 in Lambeau. After the game, we tried to do the 'Lambeau Leap' in the crowd where our fans were. They started throwing things at you, pushing you off. The Lambeau Leap is a real leap; it's not a baby jump. And they're just pushing you in the face.'
The Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers ended a 10-game losing streak that started after their Week 6 bye. Green Bay took the first meeting between the two at Soldier Field, 20-19, making Williams 1-1 against them in his career.
Despite coming off a 5-12 season, the Bears have reasonably high expectations in 2025. Chicago made several key adjustments in the offseason, most notably hiring Ben Johnson as its next head coach. Johnson, a renowned offensive coordinator with the Detroit Lions, is expected to catapult Williams' career.
Bears-Packers matchups in 2025
The Bears and Packers' two meetings in 2025 will both occur in the second half of the season. The teams will not meet until Week 14, when they reconvene at Lambeau Field. The second meeting will go down just two weeks later in Week 16 at Soldier Field.
Given both teams' preseason expectations, the two-game series could carry heavy playoff implications. With the Bears improving dramatically in the 2025 offseason, the NFC North could come down to the wire yet again in 2025.
While the Packers have historically dominated the recent series against the Bears, Williams believes the tide will turn with his arrival. Johnson, who went 6-0 against Green Bay with the Lions, presumably feels the same. Chicago fans desperately seek redemption, as the team has not won a game in the series at home since 2018.

Packers throwback uniforms: Team pays tribute to leather helmets with fun, 1923-inspired jerseys
The Green Bay Packers are going all the way back to 1923 in 2025. The team unveiled new throwback uniforms Thursday which pay homage to the franchise's first season as a publicly owned corporation. The team teased the new throwbacks in a hype video Thursday. Instead of green and gold, the jerseys will be blue and gold, similar to the 1937-48-inspired jerseys they've worn in the past. And if you find that a little too boring, well, take a look at the team's helmets. Yeah, those are leather-inspired helmets. For very obvious reasons, the NFL is not going to allow players to actually wear leather helmets in 2025, so the Packers are doing the next best thing. With their 1923-inspired jerseys, the team is adopting a leather-look on its helmets. The helmets are fully hand painted, including the faux-stitching. As for the actual uniforms, the team will wear a primarily blue jersey with gold numbers and stripes. The team will wear tan pants and navy socks to complete the look. Though the team unveiled the uniforms Thursday, it did not reveal when the Packers would wear them during a game. The team merely teased they'll be worn during a game at Lambeau Field this fall. It added that it would announce the date of that game in the coming weeks. In the earliest years of the franchise's existence, the Packers' main jersey colors were either blue or gold. The team didn't introduce its iconic green until 1935. Between the 1940s and 1960s, the franchise alternated primary colors on their jerseys. But in the 1970s, the team adopted the green jerseys fans are more familiar with today.
